Coot action and Moorhens

Gruiformes - Rallidae
  Fulica atra

 Photos prises au Teich en décembre.

La Foulque macroule
Deux oiseaux que j'aime bien "marier" dans un même article!
La Foulque est la moins timide des rallidés, famille dans laquelle on trouve la Poule d'eau ci-dessous, et le Râle entre autres.

Eurasian Coot
Unbelievable how many species are called 'common something'!! To me no bird is common, especially nowadays with their dramatic decline...

  1. Dear Noushka,
    beautiful series of these coots and moorhens.
    Allthough we see a lot of them, that doesn't mean that they aren't beatiful or ... that it's easy to make such beautiful pictures. Well done, I like this series very much.

    Best regards, Corrie

  6. beautiful photos of them!
    you are right, common?
    looking at your photos, I am reminded of a little bird that lived at my pond one summer, a Sora. I loved seeing it out there and sometimes it let me get pretty close. There are some similar things to it, but I guess they aren't related. I have so much to learn about birds.

    I hope you are well.

  7. Hi Noushka,
    Coots and common moorhens are very common with us. I normally don't take pictures of them, but when they are involved in a fight or when they are having their offspring it is more challenging. Anyway, you show us here a number of great pictures. It becomes clear that they are worth it that also photographers pay attention to them.
    Greetings, Kees
