At 10.30 am (30/11/02)  following Allan Benson's directions, an adult
Lewin's Rail was seen by us at the same spot bathing and then leisurely
preening.   It is a superb bird and it was great to be able to have such
extended views and to study the bird through the telescope only approx. 30
m. away.    The last Lewin's Rail we saw was at McGraths Hill in Sept. 01,
Other highlights were at least 10 Latham's Snipe, Buff-banded
Rail, and Sharp-tailed Sandpipers.   Judi & Neil Russill
