· In Australia the Red-necked Crake is restricted to rainforests in north Queensland. · It occupies the dense, moist understorey of lowland and foothill forests, often where cyclone damage has created tangles of spiny climbing palms. · Reports that it is mainly crepuscular and nocturnal have not been substantiated. · It breeds during the spring and summer, when its loud territorial calls are uttered more often. Calling frequency is probably greatest during late afternoon and early evening. More
