White-breasted Waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus)

This Darling bird was trapped in the mouse-trap. Oh, she is very strong, has to grab tightly for photographing before releasing her back to the grassland outside the fence. Have to lecture her NOT to take food meant for rat.

Waterhen had been my neighbour for years, often seeing  them bring around little black chicks to look for food in the cool mornings near the drain.
