Buff-banded Rail - Gallirallus philippensis
© NF Photo 140909 Queensland, Australia
This one did not know much about traffic rules. It came walking right up on the road.
Lucky enough the driver saw it in time. But it was hard to get shots of it as we could not go out of the bus. At least I could fix the three images to look pretty much OK. It is a beautiful bird for sure.
