England, London Chick I.D. (1 Viewer)

[BirdsOfEurope]

When I was walking in the park, I came across two Coots who looked after chicks that looked like Moorhens. I would like to know if they really are. Please reply if you know.

Tomasz, 11 (From my dad's account.)

Tomasz, that is a Coot chick. Go to the Opus section of Birdforum & search Eurasian Coot, there is a picture at the top of the page showing an adult and a chick of this age.

Thanks, I didn't know because I normally see grey chicks.

That's when they're a bit older. This one is only recently hatched :t:
