I know this bird as the African Swamphen… but it has so many other names; African purple swamphen, purple moorhen, purple gallinule or purple coot and even others like; Pūkeko a common name, derived from the Māori language, for the purple swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio) of New Zealand… also known as the sultana bird.
So call it what you will I had a great photo conversation with this bird…
Have a great weekend… get out there and enjoy the outdoors… take your camera and capture anything, it’s good for the soul….
