Observation details
This was a one-show wonder if ever there was one!! For about half a minute, a couple of Crakes were bubbling back and forth between each other... and then, cautiously, out it popped, a perfectly tropical tiny Crake at the edge of the reeds!!! It must've been so tiny that it could walk on the algae and lily-pads like a Jacana!! Then the Jacanas got a bit irritated at it, chasing it back into cover... and just like that was never seen again.
