Grouse? Don't think so. Looks more like a Moorhen to me. Posted 13 years ago

i am not so familiar with the right names, mostly my grandma teached me with the names oth the animals in her own language (from the northern part of germany) so i checked a translater and there it gave me: grouse [Brit.] - das Moorhuhn (nicht fachsprachlich) - i am sorry, if thats caused irritation. but if you like, you can add the right name, of cause. and advices are always welcome. thank you in advance.

I think, moorhen is correct - the german name should be "Teichralle" or "Teichhuhn" - do you agree, karin65207? But beautiful photo anyway! Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago
