Today I noticed the Australian coots on our nearby little lake have babies. 🐦 When I arrived with my camera they hurried off, but a couple of shots worked. That white frontal shield is a giveaway.


I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, which I love, and strive to be an actively decent human being. Apparently the bizarre is normal now. Now 68, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! 100% human. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018.
