This Purple Swamphen picked up a small apple and ran..... back to the lake , and all the way to an island where she had her nest.

They seem to be very smart birds .... wouldn't miss the chance to take the apple. Great pictures .. I always like their big feet.
Beautiful! I love how clear the first shot is
Do you know if she has any chicks?
lovely images, great detail & you do the colours justice. Love how she speared the apple with the top beak and holds it in place with the lower beak. people use the term "Bird brain" however there are a lot of people walking around who would benefit from an upgrade to a "Bird brain".
Once again lovely work.
Cheers.
I didn't see any chicks Elsie, the nest was in the middle of the lake. But I haven't seen any this season yet.
Dennis, I'm with you on the "people bird brain", sad fact is they all must have nests somewhere, they multiply and then migrate to sit in offices in capital cities all over the world.

Beautifully clear shot Araminta. Wish I could give you some of ours as they've become a bit of a pest with 18 or so hanging around. Among other things they've developed a taste for the sweet corn in my garden!
How gorgeous!
