We need a field guide to Canberra birdos!

 

I try to remember to introduce myself to other birdos if I run into them. I reckon it’s a good idea to make yourself known if you meet others in the field.

 

It was good to finally meet a few folks at Kellys Swamp the other day after several years of reading their names and emails on this list.

Does anyone have a list of birdos identified online thro' this forum?
Five minutes later a Spotless Crake was spotted and later a Buff-banded Rail at dusk.
Looks like all 5 rails and crakes have been acccounted for this weekend at Kelly's.

ps where is the fallen willow and gully where the Lewin's Rail frequents.

cheers
Richard

But I can confirm that Homo sapiens has been correctly identified (although the sub-species remains unclear in case of the dark specimen): from left Jochen Brocks, Peter Wynn (visiting  from Lancaster uni) and Kim Sterelny  (and a father and son who's name I didn't catch).  We were observing a Baillon's crake.

Ray,
Your leadens are in fact juvenile welcome swallows.
Cheers
