Common Moorhen

Common Moorhen

There was little snow in the London area during the winter of 2014/2015. The morning of 3rd February was an exception however and provided an opportunity to take a few photographs in the hour or so before the snow melted. Remarkably, this Common Moorhen in Kelsey Park enjoyed running around in the snow.
