Spotted
The Andaman Crake (Rallina canningi) is a secretive and endemic rail found only in the Andaman Islands of India. It has a distinctive red face and dark, barred plumage, favoring dense undergrowth in wet areas.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Inhabits dense evergreen forests, bamboo thickets, and swampy areas, often near streams or wetlands.
How to spot
This is a highly elusive species. Focus on listening for its calls from deep within dense forest undergrowth. Observation will require extensive patience and quiet, as it rarely emerges into open view.
When to spot
Year-round resident. It is most active during the early morning and late afternoon, and its calls can sometimes be heard during the night.
