Moorhens typically nest in dense vegetation near water bodies such as ponds, lakes, and marshes. They prefer areas with reeds, sedges, and other aquatic plants that provide cover and protection from predators. The nests are often built on or just above the water's surface, using materials like reeds, grasses, and twigs. The location helps keep their eggs safe while providing easy access to food sources.
