The Eurasian Coot was photographed with Fuji HS 10 camera by me at Vadhvana Wetlands near Dhaboi in Gujarat few years back.
According to the Wikipedia, the Eurasian coot (Fulica atra), also known as the coot, is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae. It is found in Europe, Asia, Australia and parts of Africa. The coot breeds across much of the Old World on freshwater lakes and ponds. It occurs and breeds in Europe, Asia, Australia,
and Africa.
The species has recently expanded its range into New Zealand. It is resident in the milder parts of its range but migrates further south and west from much of Asia in winter as the waters freeze.
