Wow! Love that Shining Flycatcher and now I understand why they're called Spotless Crakes.
For some reason (possibily insanity) I didn't believe that spotless crakes really were sans spots. Now I know to trust crake and rail labelling.
Hi Russell, Snail: Not so sure about trusting names. Spotless Crakes have very strong undertail barring that can look quite spotty. Oz bird names often v confusing, I think.
