Today I stumbled across the extraordinary Purple Swamphen (aka. Australian *cough-fake Pukeko) along the riverside as Master Z was trying to take me for a romantic stroll... apparently it is not polite to ignore your partner to photograph "dumb birds" when a man is making an effort to be romantic... woops.
For those of you who have seen the mischevious Pukeko in action, the Purple Swamphen is the same hight (around 1/2 meter) and in my opinion is black not purple, they are also less cheeky then their New Zealand cousins. They are however almost as adorable and gave me some homesickness pangs! Late start but the list has begun... now to find the illusive Koala (outside a zoo) and spend a day at the spa ;p who is coming with?
Luv always,
Miss R x
