[Rails] Slaty-breasted Rail - record shot and garden tick!

Slaty-breasted Rail - record shot and garden tick!

Sai Kung, 6th May 2014, our garden - taken with a super zoom through my study window - raining. Hoping it will still be around.

Nice!  I have only just realised that this is in the mangroves here in Yung Shue O, I had been trying to work out what the croaking call was.  I haven't seen it here yet though.

Thank you Dylan & John. I was overdue a decent garden tick.

It hadn't occurred to me that Slaty-breasted Rail could have been the source of the call until I saw your picture.  I have heard it a few times now.  What did you have on the bird table to bring that in?   I throw some of it out on the mud. :-)
