This Western Swamphen showed well yesterday at El Hondo. They always look slightly prehistoric to me. #birds #birdphotography #birding #naturephotography #Alicante

Thank you Marina. Although fairly common at El Hondo they are normally hiding in the reeds. It was nice to catch one out in the open 👍🏽👍🏽
