Seamus’ - Tweet of the Month – Buff ‑ banded Rail
We are delighted to welcome Seamus to our newsletter team! Each month, Seamus will be sharing one of his stunning bird photographs, offering us a glimpse into the remarkable wildlife that thrives around us here at Macquarie Hospital. His passion for birds — and knack for capturing them at just the right moment — adds a wonderful new element to our monthly update.
A shy but charismatic wetland bird known for its bold stripes and beautifully patterned plumage. With a rich chestnut crown, a buff-coloured band across the chest, and distinctive black ‑ and ‑ white barring along its flanks, this little rail is a wonderful sight if you’re lucky enough to spot one. Buff ‑ banded Rails are usually found darting between reeds or foraging quietly along the edges of wetlands, mangroves, and parks.
