Didn’t see your spotless crake, Scott, but did see a pair of chestnut teal in that little depression/puddle beside the cycle track early in the morning. Sydney visitor with me saw a black-faced cuckoo shrike. Could also hear the faint plaintiff call of a little grassbird. The tree-cutting gang may have frightened off a few birds from the area near the car park.
Night herons were in situ, very much so, not wanting to be photographed.
