The Australian Spotted Crake is a small, secretive wetland bird. This stocky little character with its distinctive spotted plumage can be found tiptoeing along the muddy edges of wetlands across southern Australia. Though shy by nature, these birds can sometimes be surprisingly bold, venturing out into the open for brief moments.
