Moorhens are common, duck-like wetland birds known for their distinctive red bill with a yellow tip, slate-black bodies, olive-green backs, and white flank stripes.
They are omnivores, eating plants, seeds, insects, and small fish, and are territorial during breeding but gregarious in winter, often seen on park ponds and canals.
Key identifiers include their bright yellow-green legs and a nervous tail-flicking habit that flashes their white undertail, signaling alertness.
