Hi,
Myself and some work mates managed to get out for a quick shoot at lunchtime on Tuesday. Heading to a local swamp park, we were initially disappointed with the apparent lack of birds to photograph. However after persisting for a while I managed to find this
Purple Swamphen (
P. p. bellus) walking around and snapped a few photos.
Nothing too special, but I haven't used this lens for birds for quite some time, so I was happy to get close enough and get some sharp shots. Mind you it is a big bird...

And here is another of the local swamp denisons, the extremely common Pacific Black Duck:
Comments welcomed.
