Observation details
Individual detected by eyeshine; first seen perched on the ground close to the water. The bird was quite shy - upon approach, it took off when I was about 35 m away. After returning to the lake after 10 minutes, the bird was seen flying low over the barren ground near the New Hostel side of the lake. Flight was slow, with irregular and shallow wingbeats. Finally perched on a liana after circling back round. This time the bird allowed approach upto 20 m, permitting a record shot. Low pitched croaking song also heard while perching.
