Spent the weekend looking for 5 species but dipped on the Lewin's and Buff-banded Rail, oh well, 3 out of 5 ain't too bad.

Nice group there Shorty,looks like you were down in the mud.
Kinf of Peter to supply an image of the Rail :-) :-)
Some great shots of some secretive species- 3 species of crakes in one day is quite impressive :)

Aiming for DSLR-quality shots with a bridge camera
Some great shots there and I agree with HelloBirdy, "3 species of crakes in one day is quite impressive".
Samford Valley Qld.
Thanks all,
Peter, i have plenty off pics of the B-bF, it is the Lewins i really want as it would be a tick and make 178 species pics for 2015 in Canberra.
Rick, no mud for me, just sitting on the grass and waiting :)
Ryu and Reflex, yep was very happy to get 3 but will try again on Thursday to get the 5.
The Ballion's just walked straight up to me so it was a real pleasure to be so close.
