Perhaps he was there visiting his medical specialist or perhaps just popping in to the Mitchel Library but the highlight of our trip to the "big smoke" yesterday was to see a Buff Banded Rail in a Macquarie St garden bed outside the Botanical Gardens at midday. We had extended close up views of the bird who was seemingly unconcerned by the traffic thundering off the harbour bridge just meters away, the fitness junkies sweating and puffing past getting their lunchtime fix and the gardens groundsmen raking around him. Location was outside the gates just above/behind the Conservatorium. The bird seemed very keen on exploring a load of mulch/straw that had just been laid in the bed.
