12th January 2010 - Fulica and Gallinula

Jake and I made a visit to Coot Pond this afternoon which finally lived up to its name with us managing to catch a Coot and two Moorhen a piece. Interestingly both Coots were females and all four Moorhen were males and these were the first Coots ringed at the sites (very poor photo below).
Birds ringed:
Coot - 2
Moorhen - 4
