The Black-tailed Native-hen was very active while I was at
Norwood Pk between 2:30-3 PM. It was foraging on the shady triangular patch of
grass along the reedy rivulet in the SW part of the park. When someone passed
by it didn’t seem too concerned and did not always run for cover
preferring to stop briefly before feeding again.
The ‘resident’ Spotless Crakes were showing well
again as usual. I think I have seen this species almost every visit this year.
At one point one flew under the bridge and into reeds.
