Observation details

Crakes spread across wetland as viewed from the walkway. Feeding on muddy margins beside reed beds. Surprised that we didnt see any Spotted Crake at all only Spotless. This is the most Spotless Crakes have ever seen at this location. All birds were adults with no indication of young birds. Photos taken at different vantage points.
