Nest of a Moorhen, Gallinula chloropus, on a tree

Photo of nest of a Moorhen, Gallinula chloropus on a tree. Gallinula chloropus breeds in marsh environments and well-vegetated lakes. Its nest is like a basket built in dense vegetation. Occasionally it builts a nest on a tree or a bush, mainly in other birds’ abandoned nests, up to 8 m over the ground. Nests may be re-used by different females.
