Neighbourly (Gallirallus philippensis)

Alex's neighbour invited me across to her garden, as she had treats for me to see!

She took me down to the bottom where the grass is just allowed to grow long, interspersed with shrubs and it backs onto the beach.

She put some seeds, a bit noisily, into a dish in a cleared bit and very soon this Buff-banded Rail came in and I got a real nice close view of him, as you can see. A bit easier to photograph than the morning one LOL
