The Eurasian coot, also known as the common coot, or Australian coot, is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae.
The Eurasian Coot is recognised by its snowy white bill and forehead shield. The remainder of the bird is dark sooty grey, except for its bright red eye.
As a swimming species, the coot has partial webbing on its long strong toes. The sexes are similar in appearance.
The juvenile is paler than the adult, has a whitish breast, and lacks the facial shield; the adult black plumage develops when about 3–4 months old, but the white shield is only fully developed at about one year old.
With its habit of swimming around on the surface of open water, and diving down to get its food, it is easy to assume that the Coot is some sort of duck.
