Media notes
Adult in breeding plumage. Remarks: Was watching Swamphens at this pond with one about 8-10 metres from me. I was taken aback when suddenly another Swamphen about 20 metres out launched itself, flew in and chased the one I was watching away. It did not seem to be bothered by my proximity as much as that of the other bird. Soon after I heard the calls of a juvenile and spotted it about 20 metres out where the other adult had been. The behaviour of the aggressive Swamphen must have been to protect its young. - Amar . Date added to OBI: April 20, 2011.
