Its always a good visit when you see a rare bird (and even if only a glimpse), and get lucky with a few good close ups of a few favourites…I have only seen the Lewin’s Rail once before at the Coolart Wetlands and then this time at the Western treatment Plant.

There is a certain buzz when I get to see birds that are rare. I have a bucket list of birds I want to see in the wild when I retire, some here in Australia and some overseas.
