Well I would suggest to you that any place in our area that has “Buff-banded Rails and another bird in the reeds” is highly likely to also have Golden-headed
Cisticola, especially if you saw something that could be it. Whether that is what you saw yesterday, only you can know (or not). Try again and I suggest you will know.

I’m happy to say that I was wrong that the Buff-banded Rails had left Hassett Park in Campbell. There are at least two still living there. There is another bird in the reeds there I’d love to have identified. I just caught a quick look
at it yesterday and wondered if it was a Golden-headed Cisticola.
