Black Crake

Hi

They call me the Black Crake

But let me personally introduce myself,

You see me in any lake or small pond with fringing and floating vegetation from sea level to 3000m, past that we are not found… But wait if climate change effects are realized we might go further up, who knows

As you can see I have a yellow-green bill and red eyes and legs.

Me and my wife look the same. But our boy or girl child (immature ) is browner above and greyer below with a whitish throat and duller bill and legs

We stay in pairs and small groups

So what do we eat? Have you seen our nests?  have any idea share your thoughts on the comments section. 

Enjoy the pictures… Telling the conservation story, protect the habitat of this beautiful birds and you will keep seeing them more.
