Common Moorhen (Juvenile) / Gallinula chloropus / 黑水雞 (幼

            Juvenile Common Moorhen, approximately 2 to 3 weeks old.

This species of rail is fairly common throughout Hong Kong, especially in HK’s northern districts which are dominated by wetlands and mangroves.

The Common Moorhen appears to thrive in human-altered landscapes here; these include aquaculture ponds, fish farms and wetland agricultural environments.
