I think that was the last time I saw that species. I'm quite confident that I also heard a Water Rail calling from the reedbed at Gould's. It's rained around an inch in the last 24hrs--much needed--and I suspect finding the crakes has got a whole lot harder!BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-83330490734545393532007-12-04T14:11:00.000+11:002007-12-04T14:11:00.000+11:00Now all you need to complete the set is a Baillon'...Now all you need to complete the set is a Baillon's Crake - on a fifth floor window ledge perhaps :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-23989101048402335112007-12-03T12:59:00.000+11:002007-12-03T12:59:00.000+11:00Hi John, Haven't heard that anyone else has s...Hi John,<BR/> Haven't heard that anyone else has seen it, but I've now seen it on 2 occasions, so I'm guessing that it's been around awhile.On both occasions, it was around 8 to 9.30ish, but I've no idea at what time anyone else has seen it.Overnight it has rained around 12mm here, and I suspect that may have a 'detrimental' effect on your chances of seeing it. Presumably it's about all the time and the low water level has "forced" it into the open. Good luck!BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-68758160142470547452007-12-03T11:26:00.000+11:002007-12-03T11:26:00.000+11:00Hi Alan,We are green with envy about the Spotted C...Hi Alan,<BR/>We are green with envy about the Spotted Crake, which would be a lifer for us. What time of day did you see it? Does it need to be early morning, or during the day. Others have seen it, too, so it may be worth a dash!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
