About These Birds
Nkulengu Rail
Nkulengu Rail (Himantornis haematopus) is a large 30–35 cm, distinctive rail of west and central African rainforests. Brown above; buffy underparts with dark bars; reddish legs and feet. Inhabits dense lowland rainforest floor, often near streams or swampy forest. One of the most forest-adapted African rails; secretive and rarely seen.
Marquesan Swamphen
Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.
