Dato’ Dr Amar-Singh HSS‘s images of a White-breasted Waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus phoenicurus) feeding on a mollusc were taken at 7.45am in low light through some bushes on 27th January 2013. They show an excited White-breasted Waterhen that had just discovered a clam/mollusc to feed on. Some of the fish farms in the area rear these commercially.
The location is an ex-tin mining area with extensive pond/lakes, wetlands and fish farms in Malim Nawar Wetlands, Perak, Malaysia.
