Moorhen

I really, really like Moorhens. They're comical little things, and very flighty meaning you can't really get too close. It wasn't till recently, when I got quite a close-up photo, that I realised the tops of their legs match the beak, with little rings of red and yellow. Doing well, with green status, and you can read more from the RSPB.
