This is the Tasmanian Native Hen. An endemic Tasmanian, also known locally as the 'roadrunner', for its habit of running along in front of your car, rather than doing the intelligent thing and dodging to the side!
I saw this one in Richmond, near the old bridge.
An Eastern Rosella, a bit camera-shy, and not confined to Tassie.
I called in briefly at Orielton Lagoon, a designated wetland of international importance near Hobart.
Saw a group of Pied Oystercatchers doing their extraordinary mating dance.
