About These Birds
Eurasian Coot
Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra) is a 36–42 cm abundant, all-black waterbird of Eurasia, Australia, and North Africa. Distinctive white frontal shield and bill stand out against slaty-black plumage. Inhabits freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and large ponds. Aggressive; chases rivals with wing-beating. Feeds on aquatic vegetation, invertebrates, and algae.
African Swamphen
African Swamphen (Porphyrio madagascariensis) is a 38–50 cm large gallinule of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Deep blue-purple with greenish back, massive red bill and frontal shield, and red legs. Inhabits papyrus swamps, lake shores, and dense reed beds. Similar to Purple Swamphen but restricted to Africa.
