Swamphen With Chicks Royalty-Free Stock Image

An Australasian Purple Swamphen, or Porphyrio Melanotus, interacts with her three newborn chicks among the reeds near the side of a lake in Canberra, Australia. A fourth chick is behind her. The mother is a shy, wild bird with a red beak and deep blue and black feathers. The chicks are black, tiny and fluffy, with white beaks and wide eyes. The photo was taken from the side with a zoom lens, allowing a close-up of the wild birds.
