Short video of a Buff Banded Rail family
I first spotted this Rail, with another, most likely it's partner, at least 3 months ago. As soon as I was spotted, these birds ran off into the undercover.
Very shy, seems like they do not like being observed.
Mostly terrestrial bird the size of a small chicken, with brown upperparts, finely banded black and white underparts, a white eyebrow, chestnut band running from the bill round the nape, with a buff band on the breast.
Found in moist or wetland habitats with low, dense vegetation for cover.
They are omnivorous, feeding on snails, spiders, worms, insects and seeds.
