Red-necked Crakes

[Phil Gregory <>]

The pair at Cassowary House, Kuranda have 4 youngsters, which look to have 
almost doubled in size in two days; they walk around the gardens with constant 
high-pitched trilling calls, answered by quiet grunts from the parents, and 
some times some much shriller quite musical notes from the juvs. that I had not 
heard before, sadly probably not on my recording which I am about to post to 
the Internet Bird Collection (IBC).
A large goanna has appeared which is not good news! A couple of other pairs of 
the crakes that are adjacent don't seem to have any youngsters. Be interesting 
to see what the cyclone brings for them, I will ask Sue to update as I will be 
in Ghana.
