File:A White Breasted Waterhen on the Ground (51386531734).jpg

A Very common bird found around water bodies or around fields during sowing time. The bird has a very loud and distinct call that puzzled me for a long time, but now can recognize it fairly well.

The bird is seen in a wide region from South Asia and rest of South East Asia and North Asia. It is quite active during the evening periods where its call can be heard quite easily - loud and hoarse calls. I often see it in the small wooded area behind my community on trees where it rests when it sees some predators - usually stray dogs.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
