Baillon's, Spotted, Spotless Crakes and Lewin's Rail - Mt St Joseph pond, Altona, Vic

["Peter Shute" <>]

With Steve Davidson and Andrew Hurnard at 8.30 this morning, saw 1 Baillon's, 1 
adult and lots of juvenile Spotted, 1 Spotless Crake and 1 Lewin's Rail at the 
pond.

Low water level has produced good mudflats and brought them out into the open.

Thanks guys for spotting the Lewin's, and for pointing out the difference 
between Baillon's and Spotted. Some of the Baillon's previously reported when 
seen at a distance may have been Spotless.

Also flushed some Brown Quail just north of the pond last night.
