Another bird from the Rallidae family all dressed in purple ...
Purple Moorhen.
Marshy and swampy lands bordered with tall reeds are their homes .A glimpse of purple with long red colored legs clumsily moving among the reeds.
They are really shy birds and run into the reeds with their stubby tails flickering nervously at the slightest disturbance .They are audible from far thanks to their loud raucous high pitched screechs .Despite being clumsy in flight they are capable of flying long distances
I'll back soon with another bird from the rail and crake family....till then..
Happy Birding
