I thought Coots had white beaks, but I could be wrong (I often am). I like how you've captured him intent on getting down to the water.

You are probably right there Gabby. I'm no expert on birds and I tend to call all of these type of birds Coots. On looking it up the book says Purple Swamp Hen.

Thanks for the comment.

It's a Dusky Moorhen.

Yes it certainly looks like it, different beak shape and colouring to the Purple Swamphen.
