A Common Gallinule was seen across from Pirie Mayhood Tower from 7:55 to 8:05 a.m. Disappeared into reeds.
Found by Patty Finn, confirmed by Stiles Thomas and me. All of us had good looks through spotting scope.

Sorry I did not have a camera with me, but there was no doubt it was a Common Gallinule.
Will try for it same time tomorrow. Will bring spotting scope and camera.
I hope you get a chance to see it. It has been there two mornings now.
Wow!
That’s the bird who introduced me to the Celery Farm!
Hope it sticks around for a while!
Thank you.
