I meant to include this link as well – the adults displaying and attempted mating prior to the second brood.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Videos on development of Australain Spotted Crake
As part of preparing an article for CBN on the development of Australian Spotted Crake, I have loaded a number of videos to The Internet Bird Collection showing the young at Forde over a period of 40 days. I am not able to say exactly how old the young are on Day 1 (the first day Bill Graham say them) but it is most likely between 3 and 14 days. I hope the videos will be a useful benchmark for determining the age of young sighted in the future.
