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.

White Swamphen

White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
