Are those moorhens capable of long flights? The wings look short for their body mass. Nice pics!

Thanks Dean.
These moorhens are residents on my local pond. They very rarely fly and never that far.

Nice set. Do people eat moorhens? They look very similar to coots.

Nobody that I know eats moorhens
They are slightly smaller than a coot.
