A pūkeko (Australasian swamphen if you’re from the West Island) having a preen in front of my lens yesterday morning.
@enzo that took some looking at!
@enzo do they exist in Aus too?
@SimonCHulse yes, very common in Australia too. Also Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
@enzo same species? Or a close cousin?
@SimonCHulse same species. There are also close cousins all over the world. They are part of the rail family. I’ve seen very similar birds in Italy.
