- Familiar waterbirds to many but have you ever struggled to tell the difference between Moorhen and Coot? You are not alone! Often found together they can cause ID headaches, especially when young birds are encountered.
Lovely birds. I like to see them run across the water
Yes they are really lovely I have seen a coot run on the water before but never seen a moorhen run on the water but I have seen a moorhen before at my local lake before!
Moorhens are one of my favourite animals
I love how they walk so funny
We have moorhens on my Island home. All my life I knew them as Coot. Turns out that I have never seen a coot in my life.
Thank you for publishing this series. Hopefully more videos up your sleeve for when you run out of birds for ID!
Great video from a great series, added to our playlist.
Hi guys, I am a member of the BTO and RSPB so I really know much about these birds! I love their really weird feet so much!
I love moorhens they are some of my favourite birds.
Their nests are so adorable
Terrific video. Thanks!

Lovely stuff.
great video
wonderfull video...they are in the river leen near where i live
Nice video
They are very unique birds
Good information
*EDIT* Just watched the rest of your video and it cleared up my query 😂😊😊
I regularly feed a gorgeous Coot momma and papa who take the food off to their baby....today obe if the coots was very close to me and wanted my attention for more food, he/she made a call that sounded like someone hitting something against an aluminium flag pole.. very metallic sounding.
Is this normal for coots?
👌Great
Well done! Can they be found together?
Wow morhen nua masih alami
they walk like paul mccartney
Observation: red mark above the heel, and not "knee".
Yes, Luis Avelar - you are absolutely right, but I use the term 'knee' as that is what most people would consider it to be, due to its apparent position on the leg!
valo video sent me
Coots can eat wheat and they do.
