Another one from my recent trip up north. This wetland species is fairly common across northern Australia - I love the amazing size of their feet, specially adapted for walking on Lilly Pads. The juveniles are pretty much independent when they hatch. Thanks for looking, Greg

Terrific capture, Greg!
The size comparison of the chick and parent sets this image off.
Oh, it's refreshing to see this shot that is so different from your usual land birds series.

Great to see this kind of frame from you. Your usual solid techs makes this one awesome. The details and colors look great and the overall scene with the turquoise colors is killer. Very nice Greg

That is an awesome shot, light, composition, great low angle and the flower gives a great balance to the frame.
