Rather attractive swamphens these Mike; and you've a great picture of these two.

Just a heads up lad.... the Purple Swamphen was split a couple of years ago, and the one found in India is now called Grey Swamphen, Porphyrio poliocephalus.
 
a marvelous photo of these two impressive birds, Mike, captured in a wonderful setting, top class, many tfs!!!

A cracking detailed double, setting and capture Mike, many tfs and a fine set today.
 
I like the way one is looking at you full on and the other over his shoulder. A great shot, Mike.
