Hi everyone,

I was at Lake Wendouree (Ballarat, Victoria) on Wednesday 26/1/00, where I
dipped on Little Bittern, but saw five Baillon's Crakes and a Buff-banded Rail.
I would also be interested in hearing when it/they (Little Bittern(s)) have been
seen most recently.

On another matter, folks may be interested in a roadkill Painted Button-quail I
found in an alleyway in inner urban Richmond (Victoria) on Tuesday 11/1/00.  It
was in one of the most heavily urbanised parts of Melbourne, about a kilometre
from the Yarra River, along which is the only vegetation for miles which even
remotely resembles typical Painted Button-quail habitat.  I sent it to the
Museum of Victoria, but it was in pretty poor shape.

Cheers,

Paul Peake.
