A Lewin's Rail was seen today at Point
Clare(Central Coast NSW).
It was observed from the foreshore walking
track, walking around bushes in the backyard of a property that fronts onto the
track at about 5.15 pm.
The location is the corner of Fisher Rd, Point
Clare and the walking track and is the property with the clothes line in the
back yard. The bird was observed around the bushes on the left but was seen well
on the lawn and the drive way. I checked with the resident and it is there
permanently and they feed it bread.
The 1999 Central Coast Bird Report lists the
Lewin's Rail as a rare resident with only one sighting in 1999 at the usual
spot at Mill Creek at Dharug NP, so this is a significant
sighting.
