Eurasian Moorhen, a bird that's as interesting as its name! Moorhens are like the ninja birds of wetlands with their dark plumage and red beaks.
They love hanging out near ponds and lakes, so you might spot them while visiting these places.
What's super cool about Moorhens is that they're great swimmers, using their long, strong toes to paddle in the water.
They're like the Michael Phelps of the bird world! They build nests near the water's edge, creating safe homes for their fluffy chicks.
Moorhens are friendly neighbors to other birds too, often sharing their homes.
So, next time you're near a pond and see these black-feathered friends, say hello to these amazing water-loving birds that make wetlands even more exciting!.
Medium-sized waterbird with black plumage, white undertail coverts, and a red frontal shield.
Found in marshes, ponds, and wetlands with dense vegetation.
Feeds on aquatic plants, seeds, and small invertebrates, foraging in shallow water.
Known for its loud calls and territorial behavior during the breeding season.
