Is it a Moorhen?

Coot

Moorhens have reddish/orange bills.

//What's the difference between a moorhen and a coot? Coots are almost entirely black in plumage, but they have a rather dirty-white bill and a neater white shield over the forehead. Moorhens have orange bills with a yellow tip. ... Coots are the slightly bigger birds and are more likely to be found swimming on open water.//

One is more aggressive/argumentative but I can't remember which!

Moorhens are quite timid, unless they have young with them - then they'll tackle anything.

We have them here, the chicks are the sweetest black pom poms bobbing on the water.

Lordy...I saw the pelican first and couldn't take my eyes off it.

Looks as if the Pelican just missed him when he came in to land, if that is what it looks like on the floor. :))
