A Tasmanian Nativehen all fluffed up from the wind. Piercing red eyes

I managed to capture this clear shot of the Tasmanian Nativehen or ‘turbo chook’ while on my road trip from Devonport to Hobart.

Photo of four Tasmanian native hens, also known as "turbo chooks", standing in a bright blue round plastic paddling pool.

The turbo chooks found the paddling pool (or "paddy pool") that we put out for the pademelons, wallabies and possums to drink from, and they're pretty happy with it. #Tasmania #NativeHen #TurboChook #Wildlife
