Very nice name for a very nice bird.

He's a beauty! Pretty sure I voted for this species for NZ bird of the year a couple of years ago. Are they common where you are?

I'm from Australia, but saw lots of these guys when I was in NZ in February. They were quite common even on the waterfront in the major cities.

That is a purple leg. Beautiful bird and great shot!
