When Ruth and I were at the RBG in Sydney just before the new year we saw a
Buff-banded Rail with three chicks. I guess that means they breed there!

More likely from nearby. I've seen a Buff-banded Rail in the Botanic
Gardens near the Cahill Expressway on-ramp - which would be ~300m from the
top of Martin Place and I think there is closer vegetation they might use.
They seem to be regularly reported from the RBG - have they bred there?
