Observation details
Adult and juvenile present together in emergent vegetation on W side of marsh, latter individual being different to yesterday’s juvenile (head pattern not the same). Presumably a parent bird with its offspring, though breeding not categorically proven before on the island. Adult showed the distinctive largely yellow bill, dark grey (not black) plumage and smaller size compared to nearby adult Common Moorhens; juvenile somewhat paler and browner. Photographed.
