Description
This pair of Moorhens nested on a rock pile island in an ornamental garden pool. I tried to find a spot with the least harse light to get my shot of one on the nest. Then I witnessed the change of incubator, several clucks and bobs of the head seamed to be the signal.
Many thanks for comments, feedback and favs on recent posts.

Excellent capture.this looks like a Coot Pair and not a Common Moorhen Pair,but i might be wrong.

Great capture. I would love to see the chicks. They are always so adorable with the feet. You have the correct identification. American Coots have white bills. ;o) Bunny
