Whitebreasted Waterhen

Amaurornis phoenicurus


Hand-colored engraving from Thomas Pennant's book entitled
Indian Zoology, first published in London, in 1790.
A solitary and common bird found in bushes by pools, though sometimes also far from water. Makes a remarkable racket in the breeding season.
