Common Moorhen

This is a common breeding bird in marshy environments and well-vegetated lakes. It is often secretive, but can become tame in some areas. Populations in areas where the waters freeze, such as southern Canada, the northern USA and eastern Europe, will migrate to more temperate climes.
This is a distinctive species, with dark plumage apart from the white undertail, yellow legs and a red facial shield. The young are browner and lack the red shield. It has a wide range of gargling calls and will emit loud hisses when threatened.
This species will consume a wide variety of vegetable material and small aquatic creatures. They forage while swimming, sometimes upending to feed, or walking through the marsh.
The nest is a roofed basket built on the ground in dense vegetation. 8-12 eggs are laid, which are incubated for about three weeks. Both parents incubate and feed the young. More than one brood may be raised in a year.

I founded this fanny Gallinule on the lake , hope you like

Ha ha ha, this is a real funny photo. I like that! You have also managed to show the plumage on this blackish bird... that is so difficult, it's thanks to the perfect exposure I guess.

Very good technique here, Lawhill! What lens did you use?
Well done, TFS/Bengt

What an amusing and unique image. Perfect exposure and excellent color. Focus is razor sharp with nice detail in moorhen feathers. Good eye contact with hen. Nice composition.
