A study of the diet of brown skuas on Inaccessible Island confirmed this, but found that although skuas do eat adults of this species, the rail and other landbirds formed only a small part of the diet of that seabird, especially compared to their abundance on the island. They noted that the landbirds alarm-called when brown skuas were seen. [23]

Ridgway's rail (Rallus obsoletus). Rallus is a genus of wetland birds of the rail family.Sometimes, the genera Lewinia and Gallirallus are included in it. Six of the species are found in the Americas, and the three species found in Eurasia, Africa and Madagascar are very closely related to each other, suggesting they are descended from a single invasion of a New World ancestor.
The nest is a raised platform built with marsh vegetation and covered by a canopy.This is to hide the eggs of this bird from predators that are searching from above.
