Purple Sawmphen at Laratinga Wetlands South Australia

Purple Swamphen at Laratinga Wetlands, South Australia

 On a recent visit to the Laratinga Wetlands at Mt Barker in South Australia I took these photos of a Purple Swamphen preening itself in the early morning sun. It was a chilly and frosty morning and the water in the wetlands ponds was as smooth  as a mirror. I will show photos of that on another occasion.

I love the look that the bird gave me in the photo below. It is almost as if it is saying, "How does that look?"
