What river bird is this?

Some sort of young goose?

Hard to see but I think more likely young foot or moorhen.

Coot, not foot!!!

Moorhen

I also think it is a young coot.

Yes, thank you, young moorhen. I'm used to seeing adult ones. Oh well not very exciting!

Aww, I don’t know about that! Moorhens are lovely birds. The adolescents often help their parents to raise the second brood of the year.

Ah that's so sweet! I guess I was just hoping they were something I hadn't seen before! We also saw a duck and 6 ducklings😍
