"COOT"

The Australian Coot (pronounced Cute)
The Australian sub species was a rare vagrant in New Zealand until the 1950s when they moved across the Tasman and began to breed here. It is now widespread and numerous on certain lakes, especially around Rotorua in sheltered bays fringed with raupo ( catstail or bulrush). Numbers seem to be increasing. Belonging to the Rail family and descendent of the extinct Dodo bird.

A beautiful composed capture.
Lovely light and splendid sharpness.
There seems to be a great likeness between the Australian and European Coot. Very interesting to see.
Good work, Rob !
