This is a guide to rails, a relatively homogenous family of birds spread throughout the world. Most species are solitary and somewhat secretive, and therefore high on the wanted lists of many birders, but the moorhens and coots are generally common and familiar birds of wetlands. A number of species are flightless and confined to small islands, and several are extinct as a result of man and introduced predators.
Barry Taylor has written numerous scientific papers and other articles on rails and other birds. He is currently involved in conservation-orientated wetland and grassland research and survey work in Africa and in studies on the creation and management of wetlands for birds. Ber van Perlo has been a geographer and physical planner and now writes and illustrates books about birds, such as the Collins Illustrated Checklist: Birds of Eastern Africa.
