About These Birds
Tristan Moorhen
Tristan Moorhen (Gallinula nesiotis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. Dark sooty-brown with reduced wings and stout legs. Related to Common Moorhen but island-adapted. Extirpated by introduced rats and cats by the 19th century. Known from subfossil remains and early expedition accounts.
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.
