It is found in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and parts of North Africa.[3] It has a slaty-black body, a glossy black head and a white bill with a white frontal shield. The sexes are similar. Similar looking coot species are found throughout the world, with the largest variety of coot species living in South America.
