This is a super picture you've taken YH, in a lovely setting too.

I think this may be a [COLOR="Blue"]Common Gallinule[/COLOR] (Gallinula galeata), rather than a Moorhen though.

This species was split from Common Moorhen in 2011.

The Common Moorhen (Gallinula Chloropus) is only to be found in Eurasia.
