Baillon's Crake and Australian Crake both showing today at #JerrabomberraWetlands in #Canberra. Over the last seven months, I've seen four rail/crake species in the exact same spot: Buff-banded #Rail, Spotless #Crake, Baillon's Crake and Australian Crake.

Totally entranced by @theurbanbirder Zoom talk tonight (one of many, many fine Zooms) by Frank Rennie on 'The Secret Life of a Corncrake'. If you haven't come across these talks, do yourself a favour and get onboard - have a look here:

I've only seen a Corncrake once on Tiree but it's a birding encounter I won't forget.
