On 19th I was having a late lunch outside the back of my place which
looks onto a section of bush featuring Sydney blue gums etc and I took
a look at the drain/creek to see anything interest e.g. the water
dragons which are there at present. I saw a bird that was not a duck
or ashape I knew so got the binoculars and to my surprise saw a buff
banded rail feeding. There was very little water in the area at the
time and it walked along the edge of the water.
Some years ago I was told of a buff banded rail being in the same creek
(at the rear of 45 Edward Bennett Dr) and even saw it myself. But I
haven't seen one for several years. Would this bird be passing through
or perhaps breeding along the creek?
