A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Amaurornis phoenicurus
Dark. Tiny. Bundle of fluff. Hidden in the grass. Learning to forage. The third photo shows the adult which may or maynot be the parent. It was nearby but not with the chicks.
Urban residential. Patch of land sold but nothing built on it yet. It was flooded by rainwater recently and there is lush growth of grass and insects too I hope.

Thanks Tukup, today I went to the near side of the plot of land to catch a better shot but the chicks saw me and fled. Bad luck. Congratulations on your new hat too! Mine is Ok enough on the head but my feet are a little unsteady. Not up to speed yet...baby steps.
Nice catch Sukanya. Thanks for the shot of the adult too. Oh, and congratulations on the ranger hat!! I'm sure you'll wear it well :-)
