Date: Sunday, August 7, 2011
Location: Lethem, South west Guyana
Rock Dove (Columba livia) (1) Please excuse this report for another country but
we just have to brag. Here SA doesn't mean South Aust, it means South America.
We are very happy to report that we didn't actually see a rock dove in Lethem,
Guyana, one of the few places they have not yet reached. We did see :
A pair of Guyanan Cock o' the Rock. The male is brilliant orange with a
large crest, quite spectacular
A paid of red-and-green macaws
A pair of blue-and-yellow macaws
A pair of double-striped thick knees (similar to ours)
And we may as well brag about the pair of scarlet macaws we saw in the jungle
in the Amazon and the 4 hyacinth macaws in the Pantanal, both in Brazil.

Date: Monday, August 8, 2011
Location: My property, Two Wells RD, Buchfelde nr Gawler
Buff-banded Rail (Gallirallus philippensis) (1) Just feeding our horses when
the rail ran across in front of me, then stood still looking around flicking
its tail. My wife and I could get within a few feet of the bird without it
taking any notice. Eventually it moved into the undergrowth and along on our
fence line. First time I've seen this species and we've been here 9 years.

Buff-banded Rail (Gallirallus philippensis) (4) Eventually made out four birds
and some good views of them late in the day.
Australian Spotted Crake (Porzana fluminea) (4) Four Spotted Crake in the same
