What kind of bird is this?

Featured Replies

My dog caught this in our rice field

Luckily we caught him and after a little loving care the bird is fine and flew away

Could someone please identify

Thanks, JC

Looks like moorhen. We get them living in our garden, next to the fish pond. Beak looks a bit long, though.

or water hen?

Yes, a water hen. Quite placid and often come within a few feet of me when I'm working in the garden.

"what kind of bird is this" - I clicked on this thread thinking something completely different. My brain is in my pants!

It`s a young stork. Doesn`t look very happy, hope it recovered OK.

It is a White-Breasted Water Hen for sure.

Agree , about a year ago my cat Samsee-the-Viscous bought one home from the rice field , it too survived to be released ,

Common name:White-breasted Waterhen

Scientific name: Amaurornis phoenicurus

Member of the Rail Family: Rallidae

Nice to hear from the birders on here. When is Adrian going to organise another birding trip I wonder?

It was great joining like-minded souls on the couple of trips I managed to participate in to Huay Thung Tao lakeside.

For those who don't know there is a Bird Watching Group OGA (Outside Group Activity] affiliated to the CM Expat Club.

nice beak colors. red/ yellow.

reminded me of an old joke.

out with your mates you ask them if they know much about birds

they reply; no

point to your crotch and say "no worries, you can take this for a swallow"
