From Adult 1, vocalisations consisted of a single repeated note. As it moved up the plant, the intervals between the calls became shorter, especially when it was flapping its wings or flying.
観察結果の詳細
Observed 3 adults and 1 juvenile (in the oldest juvenile stage). Adult 1-Foraging for food in the grass. When approached, it ran towards, flew and climbed up a plant while vocalising (recording was from this individual), the calls in this case were single repeated monotonous notes. Intervals between vocalisations became shorter as it climbed up the plant. Adult 2-Pecking a leaf in the middle of the dirt road, no vocalisations heard. Adult 3-Walking along the side of the water body, no vocalisations heard. It was foraging for food. Juvenile 1- Looked quite different from the adults, instead of a black body with a white breast plumage and yellow feet, the juvenile spotted had a brown plumage, dark coloured feet and a-not-so distinct white breast. It ran to an opening at the base of the cattail plants (I'm guessing it is where its nest is at. no vocalisations heard). Did not manage to spot the other individual although the calls were really loud, as if it was just beside me. Has a robust, metallic call that is similar to, but harsher than the calls of a coppersmith barbet. For the first 43-seconds of the recorded calls, it was a consistent, monotonous one note call, where each series/set of one note calls lasted from 3 to 23 seconds. From around the 47-second mark onwards, the cackling laugher gave it away that it is indeed a Waterhen and not a Coppersmith Barbet. (n) - recording to be graded
