This is a photograph of Indian Purple moorhen at Sirpur lake, Indore. Though I tried but could not get the better shot........ it is a shy bird and flies away. I failed ! may be have better luck next time till then thought let me share this at the blog...
Purple moorhen is of size of a village hen. It looks beautiful purple-blue in colour with long red legs and toes. The bill is also red and the head is bald. Both the males and the females look alike. It is also called Purple Swamp-hen. Large flocks can be seen near wetlands. It’s food consists primarily of shoot and vegetable matter, but also eats insects and mollusks. It is a little unpopular with the farmers as it affects the young paddy crops...
