Nice! It's always fun to see those blue billed guys.
Beautiful colors and mood!
Very nice work, Karen.
Lovely images, Karen
I'd never seen one before! What a great personality they have!Nice! It's always fun to see those blue billed guys.
Thank you!
Appreciate it, Rassie!
Thanks, Callie! Wondered where you'd been! LOL!
Karen - been to Oz for 6 weeks or so. Shooting at the botanical garden near me. Working on the house.
I've never seen one. Really love your photos!
Cool shots Karen. I’ve never seen one either but knew of the species. Is he (drake?) blowing bubbles? What’s the commotion in the water all about?
Fantastic images Karen. Great perspective and you captured the bubbling action perfectly!
It is part of their courtship display. Here is a video in slow motion! The actual speed of one blowing bubbles is very, very fast.
The image above was taken a 1/4000th!

Excellent, wish we got them around here more often.
Very nice Karen.
Thanks, Larry!
Appreciate it, Dave!
He never came very close so I really had to work to get a few shots of him! LOL!
Thanks, Chris!
Ditto! He made one "rush" but I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.
Hey, Patrick! Thanks!
Well captured and presented!
Excellent. Beautiful.
