Not a "best photo" but I have heard these are rare so worth posting.

good pic of a very secretive bird

Looks like a 'best photo' to me. Good work. I am yet to see one of those.
I have recently been excited by my first sightings of spotless crakes (mid-winter too), tough to photograph, but have managed a few very ordinary pics

Wow! That's not a bird you see very often. Great shot!

Well done finding one - nice photo
Well done, I would be posting that with joy!
Thanks for comments all. It was definitely a 'miss' see this photo, focus point on the ground and just kept bird in the frame.
I can't take credit for the find either, a local Bushcare Volunteer found it (recognised it's song)

Dave do you use auto focus points or do you manually select the point?
I'd still be happy with that find.
Devster, centre point only as I had 1.4TC on f5.6 lens so therefore f8 and that's the only option.
The 1.4TC is almost permanently attached, mistake not to remove for this shot as I really could have used more focus points and I went there with sound recording hoping to flush it out and was expecting it to be running.
I will be getting a sound recording of this bird, it makes a fantastic 'galloping horse' sound.

What a beauty to capture Dave. I think it's extra exciting and rewarding when you're able to capture the more secretive type birds. Thanks for sharing!
