Observation details
Two birds, one possibly immature based on olive areas on the rear of the legs (see comments in photos). Ideal habitat: low, dense vegetation with narrow water-filled channels. One bird appeared cautiously on the road margin, tail flicking and allowing a brief glimpse. It and a second bird made quiet contact calls to one another. One was bolder, walking in the open for very short periods, allowing some photographs.
