American Black Duck commented on by Desmond.E.S.O Candelero Abajo, Puerto Rico, USA7 years ago

This is actually not an American black duck, it's a domesticated duck that ranges from white to black or even both black and white body, usually with some red wart looking skin on their head and face.

Definitely, the wing pattern is a give away

Moorhen commented on by Desmond.E.S.O São Gonçalo de Lagos, Algarve, Portugal7 years ago

Your're correct, this is a moorhen but to make it a complete spotting you can add the full name: Common moorhen and the scientific name (Gallinula chloropus). Nice photos!

The first photo is indeed a Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)
