About These Birds

Red-knobbed Coot

Red-knobbed Coot (Fulica cristata) is a 38–44 cm Afrotropical and Iberian coot. Resembles Eurasian Coot but has two red knobs at the top of the white frontal shield in breeding plumage. Inhabits freshwater lakes and marshes across sub-Saharan Africa and Spain/Morocco. Feeds on aquatic plants and invertebrates by diving. Vulnerable in Europe.

Talaud Rail

Talaud Rail (Gymnocrex talaudensis) is a poorly-known rail endemic to the Talaud Islands in the northern Moluccas, Indonesia. Similar to Blue-faced Rail; brown above with some rufous tones; bare facial skin. Inhabits forest and scrub on small islands. Known from very few specimens.
