Buff Banded Rail

Gallirallus philippensis mellori

Description:

I stumbled across these shy birds while walking around Herdsman Lake. There were two parents and a single chick, mother and baby noticed me immediately and headed for the reeds, the male stayed still allowing me to get some good shots of it.
