Moorhen

Moorhen .......Gallinula chloropus

The Widgeon were absent yesterday afternoon and I failed to identify the *weird* Goose that Roger located among the Canada Geese. The Bar-headed Goose was still at the far side of the Pool along with two fishing Cormorants and two Herons. The Little Egrets did not show for me again.

The only thing I did notice was the increase in Moorhen on the PBP and the smaller number of Coots.

Nothing was noted on the high tide shoreline.
