Hi All
Today at the West Belconnen Pond a bird flew up from some reeds about a
metre in front of me, flew maybe 20 metres across water and then landed in reeds
on an island. I could see it there; but not clearly. It seemed grey rather than
brown and i would have said it had no undertail pattern. It flew like
a bird rather than like a quail, though its initial burst out of the reeds was
quail-like, there was no whirring of wings.
Should I claim Lewin's Rail do you think ? Spotless Crake ? or put it in
the too hard basket.
If i see it again under similar circumstances,
( i
will be looking )
is there anything in their jizz to differentiate the species.
