 Brown Crake, Amaurornis akool - adult Surjapur, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India on 5 Feb., 2012 Seen foraging near a canal in the afternoon - DD Habits. Like all the Rails this is a very shy bird, keeping to dense cover in swamps and on the borders of streams. Its flight is said to be heavy and slow but its speed on foot and its agility in climbing reeds and bushes remarkable. It feeds largely on land-snails, slugs, worms etc. and for this purpose comes into the open in the very early mornings and late evenings.  Same bird |
