Birds Spotless Crake

[Ralph]

I went back to at the time what I called the Home Wetlands as it was right across the road.
Now I have to travel there and this day I got the bird in the title to this.
The funny thing is all the time we lived there I never seen one, yes I got the Spotted Crake but only heard that
these were about. I looked for them all the time never to come home with a shot.
Then the other day 25-5-24 I went there and as I got close to this little foot bridge I seen something small run into the reeds.
So I got to the other side and waited and with in 5 minute it was up around the top, then came back down and into the open
This is a few of what I got.

Thanks Terry but the funny thing is we lived across the road from these wetland for about 3 years and I never seen one there.
Move away go back and wham there it one I have been looking for. A good day. And the lens helps out a lot.
