This looks like a young Moorhen but I don't know

Of course I have no idea as to what the bird is but it looks very young. It reminds me of a Labrador puppy, very large "feet" and perhaps like a Labrador will grow into something large.......This is undoubtably a touch of guessiometry on my part and its a great capture. Well done Beryl

To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
