Love the colourful legs and beak of your dusky moorhen. Nest building in autumn? We have a Lotus pond at the Adelaide Bot.Gardens as well. Aren't they splendid plants? I adore our Australian Wood ducks.
The moorhen certainly stands out in his black dress with bright orange accents. Handsome bird. I enjoyed your bird shots but just as much I enjoyed your images of the lotus. Wonderful shots Carole!
Hi Carole, I love your Moorhen shots. Especially the Moorhen on the nest. The lotus pond looks beautiful. Great shots of your Wood duck. All are lovely photos, thanks for sharing. Have a happy day!
Great crisp clear shots. What kind of camera and lens are you using. I know I have asked this before but I've forgotten......that happens a lot lately. The Moorhen looks very proud of its big nest.
thanks to all for your lovely comments, and to Diane b - this link tells you all about my camera/lens http://dragonfly47.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/about-my-two-cameras.html
thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.

It's similar to our moorhen, but colored differently. Love the shot of it on the wood pile! The ducks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBrian, that pile of sticks would be a nesting-site

ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your lotus flowers Carole but in the meantime that tower of nest material is very impressive. Great shots of the waterbirds.

Beautiful images, they are precious Carole.
ReplyDeleteThe moorhens are always such busy birds - even if they are common, they are always worth watching.
ReplyDeleteAnd who does not like ducks!

ReplyDeleteGreat series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDelete...it really DOES have a mane. So aptly named. And the moorhen, they're more brightly colored than the ones here in USA
ReplyDeleteLove the red on the Morrhen. That's quite a nest!
ReplyDeleteThe moorhen has such an odd face...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the lotus in bloom!!!
Gorgeous series of photos! Be sure to return when the lotus bloom!
