This Buff-banded Rail, Gallirallus philippensis stayed in Marie Jones and John Ellis’ house yard for two days and enjoyed the easy food pickings. With no cats it didn’t have too much to worry about. This is the first time they have seen a Rail. Chris Timewell saw another one near Wheeler Street bridge (CFNC newsletter, August 2001).
