Are you sure of the Baillon's Crake? This would be a first record in mid-winter. All other records are in spring & autumn.
Author: pchunchiu    Time: 20/01/2009 14:30

I had made a very bad sketching just after I saw the crake flushed from some long grasses beside a flooded farmland. Please see below:



The crake was flushed by me and I had about 2 to 3 seconds to see it with naked eyes. It is a small crake (than white-breasted waterhen and common moorhen) which its back and wings are very pale brown in color with some white spots. Some dark streaks were also noticed on its mantle. It has a short tail and a less bulky body structure so that quails or buttonquails are ruled out. Please correct me if it is identified wrongly. Thank you!
