This Dusky Moorhen (Gallinula tenebrosa) wasy busily stomping around, presumably looking for prey items. Superficially, this species resembles the Common Moorhen of North America, lacking only the pale striping on the flanks. Of course, any member of the family Rallidae is a source of fascination for me. It was not long before I turned my attention from the Pacific Black Duck to the gambolling moorhens surrounding the duck.
