[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) is a bird in the rail family with an almost worldwide distribution outside Australasia as well as deserts, many tropical rainforests, and the polar regions. It is equally often called the common Waterhen, a name which is more apt because the bird lives around ponds, lakes, canals, marshes, etc., but is not common in moorland. Other names include[1] the water rail, the moor coot and the common gallinule. This proliferation of names is probably due to the commonness of the bird in many different places.

Great shot.Excellent capture of this interesting bird.Lighting,sharpness and composition are good.

Ciao Siegfried,
un ritratto ben ambientato di questa gallinella d'acqua, che hai colto in una postura tipica, eccellente nitidezza, belli e naturali i colori.
Grazie e complimenti.

Czesc Siggi!

Bardzo ladne foto lyski. Podoba mi sie rozklad kolorow i kompozycja. Sam ptak nie byl chyba zainteresowany aparatem :-)

Bonitos colores y encuadre. Algo falta de luz en la parte de la cabeza. Bonitas texturas en gran parte de su cuerpo.
