Birding in Echuca and District
Australian Spotted Crake
Uncommon;
usually found only in shallow wetlands. Crakes, rails and snipe are
difficult birds to observe (and photograph) as they feed in mud amongst
reeds and rushes of wetlands. Although less secretive than some, the
Spotted Crake (49) is no exception. In the greater Echuca district,
this species is sometimes observed at Cussen Park Tatura and Kinnairds
Wetlands Numurkah. This bird was photographed at Little Lake Boort.
The Spotless Crake (51) has also been observed in the district.
