Lewin's Rail!

Post by Bill Jolly »

A big surprise yesterday afternoon (Thursday 17th Dec) when a Lewin's Rail walked out of the creekside vegetation almost opposite the house!

Great views right in the open for maybe 5 minutes, then it flew across the creek to the near side, and out of view from the verandah.

New for Abberton, new for the TBO list, new for the 2009 Challenge, and new for Summer Within 2009/10.

No sign of it on Friday morning, but I'll spread the word if it reappears.
