African Crake

The African crake is a seasonal intra-African migrant to marsh and swamp edges and other moist areas. Distinguishing features are the grey bill with a pink base and the white line that runs from the bill to above the eye. The upper bird was seen in Ruaha NP, courtesy of Stuart Webb; the middle, at Lake Mburo-Uganda, courtesy of Karine van der Vurst; and the lower immature, on the Maasai Steppe, courtesy of Per Holmen.
