I had one in my front garden in suburban Box Hill (VIC) on two occasions in
June.  It was happily foraging in the very damp soil between tussock
grasses and Lomandras on the first occasion.

It re-appeared 4 days later, wandered across the garden and down the path
before flying up on to the side fence, then flying down into the
neighbour's garden (conventional lawn, rose bushes, etc).

Aus_Birders,



We have just got a new, unusual backyard bird this morning - a Buff-banded
Rail. It was first observed on the lawn about 20 feet away from the
backdoor
and eventually made its way up to the backdoor. It was finding plenty of
food including small snails. Plumage was in excellent condition as it was a
good opportunity to study the plumage in detail. We now have had 2 rail and
3 crake species on or adjacent to our property.
