Australia meets (Fulica atra australis)

.... Europe with this Eurasian Coot.

What was it with so many of the species busy preening themselves when I wanted to take thair picture.

So far as I can find out this isn't an introduced species but a subspecies of the one we see in Europe.

Great shot, D.
I think that I'd
be preening
myself too if
you were
pointing a
camera at
me. I'd ensure
that me tie was
straight, at least.
