A little loose of me; I should have referred to the
(locally) common gallinule G tenebrosa.
Putting together the information in HANZAB and in S Dillon
Ripley's 'Rails of the World', I think it quite possible that given its position
the nest under urgent construction is a roosting platform for use in adverse
weather. The adult birds already seem to have young a few weeks
old.
