A moorhen is a black bird with a bright red bill with yellow on the end. A coot is also black but instead of a red beak has a white one, with a white patch above it. In general, coots tends to be larger and fatter than moorhens. So, check the beak, that will tell you what bird it is!
A duck, a coot or a moorhen.
No they are two different species of animals.
Moorhen flea was created in 1878.
Tristan Moorhen was created in 1861.
Gough Moorhen was created in 1892.
coot
Yes - a black one with a red bill, between a pigeon and a small chicken in size.
Yes they can.
Like the community answer, it is correct that moorhen is the name of the species and not the gender. Within moorhens, there are cocks and hens like with other bird species, but moorhen is the name of the species itself.So the male here would be called a moorhen cock (or cockerel).
Yes it is.
Mascarene Coot was created in 1867.
Coot Club was created in 1934.
