Interesting read looking for shooting info on moorhen,from what I've read they can be a pest to some in their habits,apparently they are territorial and chase away other birds and smash eggs they find,also they stab at ducklings and injure or kill them,as well as eating feed intended for other birds,so it sounds as if they can be quite a pest to some people,got mixed reviews as to what they taste like,some of that info was from thl,look up coot/moorhen,there's a thread on it but it's old,1998,and clearly you need up to date info.
