Beskrivelse: This picture shows why the subspecies name is <i>negripes</i>. Obviously the feet are more black than in ssp. <i>garzetta</i> the familiar European bird with all-yellow brightly coloured feet. Here only sole of the feet are 'dirty' yellow - along with lines on the inner-lateral part of the legs (a none-breeding or sub-adult bird feature?).
Beskrivelse: Only seen inside the city limits of Darwin !!
Another encounter was.. Nesting on an empty building-lot in the center (also Orange-footed Scrubfowl on the same lot). These three birds here were standing in the shade of the big trees... motionless.
Not a very common bird in WA and NT - and often not seen since night-active and hiding. So rather funny that 'down-town' Darwin seems like a good opportunity to twitch the bird ;-)
