First and last for me. Nothing wrong with the hen it just doesn't apeal to me.

[wigz]

Thanks Hans. I agree.

All lovely images Alan. I suppose when you see heaps of swamp hens they just seem to be a part of the landscape - a bit like magpies and crows. Lovely light for the spotted dove. It's closely related to the laughing dove. It has a few names: mountain dove, pearl-necked dove, lace-necked dove, and spotted turtle-dove. Just a bit of trivia for ya!

[Isac]

I agree, it's all about the timing of what they are up to.
