I’m pretty sure that this is a moorhen. The photo was taken on St. Patrick’s day, doesn’t it look nice and sunny! Usually we get rain for the parade. Don’t forget to click through for the big version

These are beautiful.
What’s brilliant about the writing is that in that moment, that’s the first moment Brienne considers it, and it’s the horror that that might be true and what she might have to deal with. […] She moves away; she doesn’t do the formal exit. She just has to turn away. Even Brienne is incredibly aware of respectability and manners, as difficult as it is for her; she’s still a lady. But she doesn’t give a formal exit, she turns away. Then in her eye-line is Jaime. It’s, I think, really slapped her hard on one side of the face, and then the other even harder, as she runs off red-faced. “Oh, God!” - Gwendoline Christie

Yeah, I'm going to second the diagnosis – sure looks like a moorhen to me.
well, you could tell me its a chicken and i'd be none the wiser. although, we do have moorhens down by our canal and they look a bit different… are there different kinds of moorhens?
I'm right there with JP! :) I'm not sure I've ever heard of or seen one of these, but it is very cool looking.
