CommentThis is likely as close as I have ever had one of these birds, it approached me as I lay beside the water, aware of my presence as I don't use any camouflage. It could have taken a drink at a more distant point so it wasn't at all afraid. Most birds would fly at approach within 20 m though occasionally I find one more cooperative.
