Another morning vigil at Kelly's produced neither rail nor sandpiper; I
sometimes wonder if I'm at the same Kelly's as other people. (I even tried a
ruse, pretending to leave, then suddenly stopping on Dairy Flat Road and
hopping the fence for another try; this, you should understand, was a Clever
Trick, and not to be confused with Desperation. Didn't work though.)
At the Kelly's I was at, I did see my 114th species for Jerra; an immature
(ie non-)White-throated Gerygone. And the number of swamphen and moorhen
chicks (not to mention rabbits) suggests that the fox control is working.
Happy birding all - and feel free to keep tantalising me with your rails!!
