a-ha, thank you! our version, or at least the most common one here, is all white, with a little red trim on head and legs/feet and an orange beak, the internet says. found mostly in southern florida. as usual, a gorgeous photo from you - that beak and the reflection are something else. suz in ohio/usa
Love that reflection.
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely, like EC I too like reflections.
ReplyDeleteI've seen plenty in the Sydney botanic gardens but never in the wild.

So nice to see one in the native environment rather than hitting the pavements of the city.
