Another photo from Pitville Park. These two are just a couple of the many moorhens that can be found around the lake. The habitat there is ideal for them - water, long grass and reeds, and plenty of insects, snails and seeds for them to eat. According to the RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) website there are an estimated 270,000 breeding pairs in the UK. These breeding pairs are resident birds and they seldom travel far, so once you've got a pair they stick around!

nice capture and interesting information
It is all about love....
Nice couple to have hanging around
aha! so that's what they are... we have loads on the River Ouse here in Buckingham. No that I can put a name to them I won't feel so silly posting their photo on my blog :)
Never seen moorhens before ... but if they're all "hens" how ...... ? Oh, never-mind :) I like their looks.
Your skywatch photo yesterday was nice, too, and I like the name of the hill a lot. Chosen Hill. A proper place for a church of some denomination.
I like these Moorhens, a rather plump little bird. They seem friendly too.
Aw, I love this cute little couple!
We have these little fellows up the park. They hard in the millpond. Well done getting an open shot. I haven't.
Pretty little birds.
I wonder if they taste like cornish hens. ;-)
An interesting looking bird...can't say I have seen a moorhen before.
