Life is grand when I am on holidays!
I captured this Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio) grooming itself whilst strolling around my lake.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! Swamphens!!!! FABUlous shot! And I have a ceramic one hanging on my wall 'cause I love these birds so much (as well as a couple tiles) It's just a truly great shot.. the colours of the feathers and beak are just so... so... perfect.

You've raised the bar with this one! Is your lake Lake Albert?

@Sidonie: No, not Albert Park Lake, it is Jells Park. The lake is part of a wetland catchment area which, of course, provides a wonderful sanctuary for the birds.
