The last of the...
.... first batch of Lifers!!

Oh my goodness. This was the last picture I took when I was with Ken and Judy, as we were leaving the beach Ken spotted this Buff-banded Rail emerging from the bushes.

How many was that today (think it is 8!!!) ... and it was still only 9am!!!

We were now heading inland to Hans and Judy for lunch.

An amazing 12 days or so with Ken and Judy for which I really can't thank them enough.
