Crested Coot
Very scanty for, at least, two decades, his breeding population does not overcome 20 pairs. It does not produce in any other Europa's place, though it is abundant to the south of the Sahara. Grows up in captivity in the center of recovery, "La Cañada de los Pájaros", in Seville, and for a few months also in the Valencian Community.
It is very similar to the common one, so apart from small details, only it differs for two red protuberances that finish off the frontal white plate.
The Spanish population lives the same biotopo that the Common Coot, that is to say, water masses with abundant marshy vegetation in the shores; but the species is of customs much more discreet, more churlish and generally very difficult to meditate in opened site, having to control the observer in spite of hearing his typical claim, which consists of one " or - uh " similarly to a weak, groan different enough and less resonant than the shout of the Common Coot.
It nests preferably in circles of reed-grasses in whose clear ones can meet with less difficulty; the nests and puttings are very similar to those of another Coot. When it finishes the reproduction they extend his area, dispersing for the nearby masses of water and being mixed by the big decrees of Common that apelotonan in them.
Identification: slightly major that the Common Coot, which it looks like greatly, being distinguished closely for having two red protuberances on shield his(her) altar frontal, which is of white bluish color, and for lacking white zones in the wings; legs grey bluish and not; typical voice; youngs without protuberance; equal sexes.
Nest building: Nest constructed by both parents with reed-grasses, floating in waters of medium depth and placed in circles of marshy vegetation; putting, from April to June, from 4 to 6 opcre-greyish eggs with black or dun - reddish points; incubation, of approximately 20 to 22 days; chickens nidífugos as those of the Common one.
Nourishment: Stems and roots of water plants; seeds and grains; aquatic insects.
Habitats: Marshes and marshy zones.
