Driving past the lake this morning I caught a quick glimpse of a baby pūkeko: a tiny ball of fluff on legs. No photo, I’m afraid, but here are 2 adult pūkeko in that same spot from last year.
John Johnston nice shot, nice birds. Quite like the moorhens we get here. I love watching those.
Miraz Jordan @johnjohnston Thanks. I believe they’re a swamp hen. They’re quite common in some parts.
David Sinclair I miss pukekos. We have some pottery sculpture ones in our garden.
