Moorhens spend a lot of time on our front lawn and flower beds but are very timid. Perhaps surprisingly, they often perch in trees and on the garden fence which they use as a "footpath" to visit neighbouring gardens. This Moorhen regularly visits our back garden to forage for spilt seed beneath the bird-feeders.
