Gallinula chloropus (Famille des Rallidés) The Moorhen or Common Gallinule is often confused with the Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra). The Gallinule is distinguished by its smaller size and especially by his red face plate and finished with a red beak yellow tip (front panel and white beak in Coot).

I like to see these in park ponds...they are always fighting and squabbling!

The focus is spot on despite the awkward conditions, & I like the natural surroundings. I imagine their be breeding very soon now, keep an eye out.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
