Back to our holiday and the walk around Lake Rotoroa at dusk.

You sure have some different wildlife than what we have.....those chicks sure have large feet

Nice captures Bernz, I'm surprised that coot on the nest didn't jump up and attack you, they do when I get close up, love the angle you took to get that last shot, thanks for sharing, cheers Steve.

Hi Bernie - great set --- like the last one a lot

Hey Bernz, those first chicks are amazing...I'll have to look up what their parents look like.
A really awesome set of shots.

Nice selection and lovely close up work with the chicks Bernie, they're the oddest looking things when young, but still very cute

Cute chicks! Wasn't expecting to see dark colored ones, they're very interesting to see. Love the scenery in the last shot too, beautiful lighting.
