The Moorhen: Close Up HD Footage (Gallinula chloropus) #birds #birding #wildlife #birdwatching

Moorhens are common water birds you'll spot around ponds and lakes in the UK. They've got dark feathers that look almost black, with a bit of white on their sides and bottom. What really stands out is their bright red beak with a yellow tip - you can't miss it! These birds are pretty good swimmers, but they're not too shabby on land either. They've got long toes that help them walk on floating plants without sinking.
Moorhens eat all sorts - plants, small animals, and even eggs sometimes. They're not fussy! When it comes to nesting, both mum and dad pitch in. They build their nests near water, using whatever bits and bobs they can find. The chicks are proper cute, all fluffy and black. They can swim almost straight away, but mum and dad keep a close eye on them for a while. Moorhens are tough little birds and can live in all sorts of watery places, from city parks to countryside streams.
