| The contrary Banded Rail. |
This
beautifully marked little bird though he was Muhammad Ali - the size of him and
he wanted to argue with every effort to help him. Despite a gourmet menu of
crickets and mealworms (compliment of Lindsay of SOSSA) he was difficult to
care for. He presented as being unable to use his legs - 9 days in care saw him
get stronger every day.
He was
identified by Lindsay as Australian Seabird Rescue hadn't seen one before - you
never stop learning do you!
With a big
appetite to match his big squeaky voice he really was a character with a madly
flicking tail when we approached.
Keep an eye
out for these cuties in well vegetated coastal areas.
