Good find! Only the fourth photo sighting of the Lewin's Rail on Canberra Nature Map and the first photo of a juvenile bird.

Thanks @MatthewFrawley. I supplied the first adult pic as well, on a hat-trick :) Now I just need to get a family portrait.

If anyone is going to get a Lewin's Rail family portrait, I'd have my money on it being you.
