#waterhoenmetkuikens #moorhenwithchicks • Moorhens are dark in color with a red beak and a red blaze on the forehead. The tip of the beak is yellow in color. They have white stripes on the flanks. Unlike coots, they don't have webbed feet. With their long, green toes, they regularly forage on the bank. The body length is 32 to 35 cm and the weight 175 to 500 grams. • The moorhen feeds on aquatic plants, grasses, insects and tadpoles. But the animal is also not shy of a fish. With its pointed beak he pricks the fish to pieces, eats it himself and shares it with his chicks. Moorhens usually make their nests among the reeds, or other dense bank vegetation, but sometimes also higher up in shrubs or trees that hang over the water. They build, as it were, a platform of dead plant material. The nests are almost always built near water. The clutch usually consists of five to eleven light gray to yellow-brown eggs with brown spots. The female hatches two to three times a year. • (Wikipedia) • • Subscribe for more videos: / @naturebelgium
