Observation details
Flushed by the taxi whilst we were driving. I quickly got the driver to stop and jumped out to try and find the beast. Looking immediately along the shoreline of Moon Lake, I wasn't able to find the bird but then I heard a promising peeping coming from a little inlet and sure enough a Slaty-backed Forktail lurking on the edge of the lake! Fantastic! The bird even stayed long enough for me to assemble my camera and change the battery. It also sounded like it was calling in response to a second bird deeper in the forest.
