A Ruddy Breasted Crake on a desolate road
A resident bird of the Subcontinent though more common in Central and Southern India. The bird is usually found around reeds near waterbodies and wet fields. It is a hard bird to sight, but easy to hear since the call is loud and cacophonic.
I sighted several bitterns (and managed superb shots) near some reeds on a lone country road and sat down to make the birds more comfortable. And then I sighted this bird on the slope of the very narrow road. As soon I lay flat on the ground, the bird came to the road and started walking giving me a good number of lovely shots much to my delight.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
