Country road hazards

There's a pukeko out there that's feeling a bit of a draft around its tail feathers but I think I slowed and swerved enough to miss it. This entry was originally posted at https://mab-browne.dreamwidth.org/416838.html. Comments are welcome there too. :-)

I'm learning new things here! First I had to look up 'pukeko' and then 'rail'... very glad you missed it.

To add further confusion they're often called swamp hens in Aussie, pukeko being the Maori word. I hate accidentally hitting animals in my car, but I especially hate it with pukekos. I just like them.
