Cover photo description:
A Gallinula chloropus, commonly known as the common moorhen, finds refuge under the broad, vibrant green leaves of lotus plants, nestled within the tranquil waters of a secluded pond. With its sleek black plumage and distinctive red beak and frontal shield, it blends seamlessly into its lush surroundings. As it ventures out from its hiding spot, the moorhen gracefully navigates through the serene water, its webbed feet propelling it effortlessly. With agile movements, it dips its beak into the water, perhaps searching for small aquatic creatures or tender shoots to nibble on. In this idyllic setting, the moorhen engages in playful antics, darting in and out of the floating lotus leaves, splashing in the shimmering water with joyous abandon. Its carefree demeanor and elegant movements reflect a harmonious coexistence with its watery habitat, making it a delightful sight to behold amid the tranquil beauty of the pond.
