Baillon's Crake up close and personal (Porzana pusilla)

This little fella was not worried that I was sat at the waterside and at times came so close it almost walked on my feet. Too close in fact that the camera would not focus !

LOL That is rather close, isn't it Col. Superb eye contact there too.

Thanks very much.
This bird has been very obliging, giving many people very close views. We have no hides here and had several species feeding alongside this one only metres from where up to six of us sit and view Agyia lake.
