It is a lovely shot, but I'm afraid it isn't a moorhen, it is a coot. They are very simular in appearance, but the moorhen has a red beak with a yellow tip while that of the coot is white. They both belong to the same family of birds.

@fishers Thanks for pointing that out Ian!! Identifying birds is not my best skill, mistakes have been made before.....

I have just the same problem, but slowly but surely we all learn!
