    This is an unusual bird to me. We have nothing like this over here that I am aware of and I live in the Midwest, in Ohio, and birds that come into my backyard are those I photograph. Anyway. It is a nice shot.

    Thank you very much for visiting My Birds Blog and for the comment you left me there about my Coopers Hawk photograph. My Birds Blog

    Great to have a resident one. I have one visit occasionally. Always fascinated by the way they move.

    Hi Abe.

    The Moorhen is a very common bird seen on most ponds, pools and rivers over here in the UK.

    Thanks for your comment..it is nice to hear from over the *pond* .

    Hi John.

    I find they are very quick to scarper once they know you are there. When they do..they are rather comical breaking out into the frantic dash for safety.
