AND- you / we / I start to become so attuned to 'same-ol ... same-ol' that we pass by others

I agree, it's all about the timing of what they are up to.

Thanks Isac. Yes I tend to ignore Dusky Moorhen, Coot, Pacific Black Duck and Swamphen unless there is something special about their behaviour or the light. They are just so common.

All lovely images Alan. I suppose when you see heaps of swamp hens they just seem to be a part of the landscape - a bit like magpies and crows. Lovely light for the spotted dove. It's closely related to the laughing dove. It has a few names: mountain dove, pearl-necked dove, lace-necked dove, and spotted turtle-dove. Just a bit of trivia for ya!

[wigz]

Thanks Hans. I agree.

First and last for me. Nothing wrong with the hen it just doesn't apeal to me.

A quiet morning. I think there is just too much water around at the moment.
