Crakes, like most rails, are active, somewhat secretive, foragers of shallow waters. Their big feet allow them to walk on floating vegetation in the shallows. Orange and yellow and black\u2026a striking color combination. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
