Out for a walk with Mum

Stopped by the pukekos again today to see how the chicks were growing. I spotted some interesting behaviour - the chick was in the middle of the stream, and ducking right under, splashing and twisting like a kid in the pool. Unfortunately a photo of an underwater chick doesn't make an interesting blip. I also watched both Mum and chick drinking - they throw their head back like a hen does.

I decided to blip this one, to show how much chick has grown. His wings are no longer the tiny stubs he started with and he now tries to flap them up and down.
