Hi,
Went to Jerrabomberra Wetlands in time for dusk on
Friday. Reading Sandra's message, I realise that I didn't see the
Yellow-billed Spoonbill, even though I saw the many Pelicans. However, I did see
Australian Spotted Crake and Buff-banded Rail at Crakes Alley, and Baillon's
Crake and a Latham's Snipe in front of Bittern hide. The Spotless Crakes that I
was trying to find, however, proved spotless (haha). There were a pair of
birds on the muddy/grassy shores opposite the lookout at the far end that looked
to be slightly larger than Dotterels and with a straighter posture/longer neck.
They disappeared when I moved closer. Appropriately, a Rufous Night Heron flew
over just as night was beginning to fall.
Cheers,
Tobias
P.S. This bird (photo) was photographed in Japan,
not
Kelly's Swamp!
