Raj, if the moorhen could speak, think it would have expressed being amazed and have said: "How is it possible that you could found me?", ☺ .
A very fine one again!

I think she is admiring her reflection in the water - a nice capture of her thinking she is hidden Raj !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It looks like it is trying to hide from you Raj. The reflection looks good.

We have a variant of them here in the wetlands of the American northern plains, called coots. They don't appear to be very bright, intellectually, and it takes a lot to get them to fly to avoid humans, preferring instead to swim or run away on top of the water. A number of times I have seen a hunter blast away at them, thinking they were a different breed of duck, and the coots will just bob in the water, wondering what all the fuss is about. Our coots here in North Dakota also have a white face instead of any other color. I like the coloring on yours better.
