Those are coots! A close relative of the moorhen distinguished by their larger size and white beaks as opposed to red ones
Lovely snaps. These are coots rather than moorhens. You can tell because the parents’ beaks and “knobs” (that is what they’re called!) are white rather than red.
Fun fact about coot chicks: [their orange plumes act as a signal to the parents, and the babies with brighter feathers get more food.](https://www.nature.com/articles/371240a0)
