Quite a surprise for a Sunday morning..

A dead Lewin's Rail by my front door!

The local cat population on the golf course estate I live at probably
dragged it in from the creek, but Im not sure whether they actually killed
it, as it was in good condition with just a small wound to the side of the
head. I had a rough time prying it from one of the cats and wonder what the
neighbours may have thought if they had seen me chasing cats through the
bushes with a stick and cursing.

The bird is now with CSIRO Wildlife & Ecology in Gungahlin.
