Closer look at female Cotton Pygmy-goose (Nettapus coromandelianus). Male gone.
Female today remarkably unflighty.
Allowed me to walk to lagoon edge, about 20 metres from it feeding alone.
Updates: Comb-crested Jacana still on four eggs. Seems juvenile Jacana quads reduced to three in one family, two in the other. Shining Flycatchers still on x? eggs.

The Pygmy-goose looks great. Such a cute little bird.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the Cotton Pygmy-goose.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the Pygmy-goose. The color of the water is great too.
