Psilos Bird Photography

A fairly widespread, resident bird that is fairly shy. During the breeding season it can be found on wet moors or pasture, particularly on northern uplands, where the males can be heard giving their 'drumming' or 'bleating' display. In the winter months it can often be found around the edges of pools with dense vegetation. its diet consists of small invertebrates, including worms and insect larvae. Both sexes are alike. Over the last twenty years this species has gone through a moderate decline due to its loss of suitable habitat.
