CommentSat near some casual water in a bag hide waiting to see what would come along and this bird was a regular visitor. Unsure if it's a male or female but I'm sure it's an immature bird by the two tone feathering and the yellow at the beak near the eye. I thought it was interesting in how it flattened its head to get water into its beak. Taken on an overcast day. (Moderator note: Grey Currowongs don't show sexual dimorphism so it's not possible to determine sex in the field.)
EquipmentCamera: Nikon D500; Lens: Nikkor 500, f/5.6, AFS plus 1.4 TC Taken at 700mm (equivalent of 1050mm crop sensor), 1250 sec at f/8.0, ISO 1400 Camera on tripod in a bag hide. Noise reduction used in post processing.
