Three species of Crake in Alice Springs!

Hi Birders,The Red Centre is still here, and still wet!A muddy stakeout at Ilparpa swamp near Alice turned up three species of Crake today: Spotted, a Spotless AND two tiny Baillons. For location and photos see my quick report at http://au.centralausbirding.wildiaries.com/trips/10408There is also a Ruff and one of the Snipes (Lathams I think?) among dozens of other waders out there- anyone heading that way should try to take a scope to get the full experience!
