I've been going over the Tasmania trip photos and found this action shot of a Turbo-chook (aka Tasmanian Native Hen) on the run.

One of these is not like the others.

One Tasmanian Native Hen chick, and two, presumably Mallard ducklings. (I saw presumably Mallard, as there were multiple mallard adults in the vicinity).

More birds from Tasmania.

A "turbo chook" (Tasmanian Native Hen) juvenile, with a parent behind.

A male Flame Robin, both on a sign and later in a tree.

And a male Superb Fairywren in a bush at our camp site.

One native, and two introduced bird species.

There's a juvenile and an adult Blackbird, and the Tasmanian Native Hen (aka Turbo Chook - due to their ability to run quite quickly).
