It was not far from the road - we have heard them a few times over the past year but not seen them - I imagine they end up on the wrong side of the fence a bit. But there are some damaged fence areas, and we see foxes here too ☹️

Thanks for this sighting! This looks to be one of the birds born in the Sanctuary. Most of the birds have part of their home range outside of the fence. Many spend every second night over the fence so they are remarkably resilient to foxes!
