Moorhen at Saheb Bandh


Purple Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus orientalis) is a ground-dwelling bird which is usually found in wetlands like Saheb Bandh, Purulia. The bird has red frontal shield and yellow tipped red bill. It is normally sighted within vegetation consisting of marshy, out grown rushes and water hyacinth. It could be hard to spot at first but on closer look it is enjoyable to watch the same.
