| Comment | I love the clarity of this photo and the fine detail shown up by the soft afternoon light. I equally like the contrasts that this bird presents not only in colour but also in it's habits and structures. The male is the carer and the female determines when they will breed. They have the largest feet per body weight than any other bird in the world. They are birds that fly but can equally walk on "water". I am constantly amazed at their camouflage amongst the lilies and how the male frantically calls and they come scurrying and he quickly scoops up his charges when under threat, protecting them by hiding them safely under his wings. All of a sudden a two legged bird becomes a 10 legged bird. Funny little things, so cute. | ||||||||||||||||||
