" This bird has a fine flute-like voice, which it pours forth as it 
ascends to some height above the reeds which it frequents, and then 
suddenly drops down among them. It has a remarkable freedom of 
action of the legs, enabling it to sprawl widely as it clambers among 
the reeds and grass-stems." — (Blyth.)
