- Comments: "*Uncommon and secretive but regular migrant. Continuing bird, foraging quietly in a wet grassy patch. Observed from a good distance to give the bird space, but it didn’t seem to care much when walkers passed right by having a loud conversation. Very cool little chicken, seems to be a juvenile based on facial pattern. Report added late as per request, as it was in a rather exposed and sensitive location. Doc photos"
