Observation details
Early in the day (8:18) before the rest of the group showed up Merlin identified a "Clapper Rail". I thought it was a mistake but after relistening now it does sound like a rail. This rail would have been close to the main road, possibly in the impoundment next to the parking area with the viewing tower. Slow kek calls. This rail can be heard starting about 2 minutes in the attached terrible audio recording. Around lunch time as a group we heard Kek calls from a completely different impoundment marshy area ponds next to the flooded field but was unable to acquire audio recording.
