Common Moorhen
Common Moorhen / gallinula chloropus. Kirk Hallam, Derbyshire. 27/02/21.
An easy to recognise individual because of the scarring on it's red forehead plate. Maybe the result of a fight with another bird or perhaps a physical defect/disease? It did seem rather lethargic despite it's bright eyes, so maybe an old bird?
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
