The common Eurasian Coot is a plump waterbird similar to a moorhen. I spotted this one foraging by the pond in Saint James's Park, London.

I have never seen one so this is a treat and a fantastic closeup, very cool
What strange bird. It looks like his cap slipped down his head and in between his eyes.
Wow, he looks like a big one. Very good closeup shot of this excellent looking bird.
"English Wilderness" has been included in this weeks A Sunday Drive. I hope this helps to attract even more new visitors here.

I have been looking at your pictures for a long time but I do believe this is my favorite. What a character! With his little hard hat set at such a jaunty angle he looks ready to take a nap.
That is funny. It looks like he's wearing a derby.
So like a moorhen, I don't think I can tell the difference. :(
