        When you read about them having a "laterally compressed body" in the books, in order to blend in with the reeds, this is what it means! Except of course that this beautifully evolved camouflage is rather spoiled when the bird decides to hang out on a dead tree, in the middle of a river, in a town! Posted 9 years ago
