There was a photo somewhere. We have to common evils with red eyes and horrible sqwarks (that’s not the official title but it suits them). I just call them Turbo Chooks.
I think I’ve got the name mixed up. Either swamphen or moorhen – not both! I’ve always called them an Eastern Swamphen, and now I don’t know where I got the moorhen from at all. 🙂 I daresay I will have another post for them, since I have a million photos.

I do like these ones so much more than the horrid ones that live on my lawn.

The blue is gorgeous! Does it shift shades a bit when they move?

It is a pretty blue, but I don’t think it shifts more than you’d expect. I’ll have to take note in my oodles and oodles of photos I took.
