Eurasian Coot
One of the many Eurasian Coots that inhabit Kennington Reservoir in Bendigo. This species is widespread in Australia, and as the name suggests, they range from Eurasia to Indonesia & New Guinea. These birds are a common site in wetlands and are easily recognised by the snow white bill and red eye.

What a beautiful Red the eye has! Great shot really shows off the colors!
Ah wow man, another great shot....
I don't think I've ever seen the white bill. Nice one!
Ok, the eye is really cool, and the water looks neat! Nice Shot.
The eye is so vibrant it looks plastic! Great shot David.

The details of your photo are exquisit.
Another of your superb photos
Wowwwww ! It's majestic David. Great shot.
I see a bit of a pattern! I don't mind though because everyone of them has been amazing. Well done with great detail.
lovely water ripples, your site has become one of my favorite stops during the day.
Would you consider this to be an action shot? The movement of the water was captured without blur and the colors are magnificent.
I've never seen that kind of bird before. Thanks for teaching me something new today!
We have coots here also but I've never gotten this good of a shot. Wonderful.
