One of my favourite birds around here, the Common Moorhen (April 2023, North-Western Germany) (lemmy.world)

They were one of the birds that could have been German Bird Of The Year 2023, but unfortunately they lost against the whinchat. Such lovely colours though!

I posted some chicks earlier, so here's an adult from a few months ago when they were still a bit friendlier. Right now they're much more secretive because they have to take care of the chicks.

I was in Germany a few weeks ago. Saw a lot of everyday common birds which were new and exotic to me, as a newbie birder from the US.
