I'm a language and science enthusiast. I don't really write a lot, but I read a lot in Wikipedia. I think Wikipedia is a platform where we can genuinely share our knowledge. I'm here to learn as well as contribute. One more you share, one more the whole world know about. So stop hesitating and get to work!!
The common moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) is a bird species in the rail family, Rallidae. It is distributed across many parts of the Old World, from Africa to Europe and Asia. It lives around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. A midsized to large rail, the common moorhen ranges in length from 30 to 38 cm (12 to 15 in) in length and spans 50 to 62 cm (20 to 24 in) across the wings. It gives a wide range of gargling calls and will emit loud hisses when threatened. This common moorhen was photographed in the Parc des Chanteraines near Gennevilliers in the suburbs of Paris, France.
