EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by the talented Don Hadden, we witness a truly remarkable moment in the avian world. Meet our feathered protagonist, DH-3837, a dashing Pictorella Mannikin with an insatiable thirst for adventure and water! This charismatic male has found himself at an overflowing cattle trough near the iconic Gibb River Road in Western Australia's Kimberley region. With his vibrant plumage glistening under the warm Australian sun, our handsome mannikin takes center stage as he elegantly perches on the edge of this makeshift oasis. It seems that even birds appreciate a good pit stop during their travels! As droplets cascade down from his beak onto his sleek feathers, it becomes evident that DH-3837 is not only quenching his thirst but also indulging in some much-needed grooming time. With every sip and splash, he effortlessly maintains his impeccable appearance while enjoying nature's refreshing gift. This enchanting photograph serves as a reminder of how wildlife seamlessly adapts to its surroundings and finds joy even in unexpected places. So next time you stumble upon an overflowing cattle trough or any other peculiar watering hole during your adventures Down Under, keep your eyes peeled for these charming creatures who know how to make hydration look oh-so-stylish!
