    “Are you getting my good side?”

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

    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.
