Observation details

Very lucky to flush a lone bird from along the track towards the tank. It flew briefly giving a loud “squeet” call before diving headlong into cover. I stalked it and luckily was able to get a couple of photos before it ran off from me and I couldn't find it again. Buffy face and open look to its expression, along with scaly back and short tail were distinctive.
