Making a quiet splash of life


Out and about on or near the water at Tyto, three to catch the eye. First, Buff-banded Rail (Gallirallus philippensis) looks for breakfast.


Second, solitary (by choice) Pacific Black Duck (Anas superciliosa) sets off to chew a bit of botany.


Third, Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) wanders out on to the water lilies.
