Observation details
Had been trying playback in likely areas to see if are present on the property all throughout today without luck. Just as I was taking my boots off at sunrise on the deck the unmistakable raucous territorial call of a Bush-hen exploded out of the undergrowth no more than 20 metres away from my front door. Eventually had brief views of a bird through the long grass as they come to check me out. Hopefully this pair stick around and breed. My only other record on the property is from the river over 2 years ago (Dec 2021) and subsequent surveying for this bird in Savannah Woodland during the wet season has turned up none....until now.
