#SpotlessCrake

Photos from a walk at #Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Canberra this afternoon (moody skies, a #Rakali, a #LittleGrassbird and an eclipse #SuperbFairywren).

There was also a #SpotlessCrake but it wasn't accommodating for photos.

Photo of water surrounded by marsh and with scattered reeds and dark grey clouds over head.

A Rakali or Australian Water-rat on a log in a river. It is surrounded by ripples and the fur is matted with water.

A Little Grassbird perching on broken reeds on the wet mud of a marsh. It is a small streaked bird with a chestnut cap and a long grey-brown tail.

A male Superb Fairywren in its non-breeding plumage. It is standing on broken reeds on the wet mud of the marsh. The bird is cream below and has a long greyish-blue tail.

Really nice walk around #Jerrabomberra Wetlands in #Canberra this evening. A #SpotlessCrake was showing well (just my second encounter) and there were two #Rakali (native water rats) in one of the channels. I've also included pictures of #AustralianPelicans and an #AustralasianDarter.

A Spotless Crake, a small black marsh bird walking between some reeds. It has a red eye and legs.

A Rakali swimming towards the left. Its snout is elevated and the whiskers can be seen.

A large black and white pelican sitting on a log preening itself, with another behind.

A cream-breasted waterbird with large pink feet and a very long snake-like neck with a yellow spear-like bill, perching unsteadily on a branch with its wings spread.
