Unknown calls at Matahi Lagoon
This was from the edge of the Matahi lagoon in mid January, fine day with a dabchick on the lagoon. I think the ticks could be from crake but never heard the miaow before and wonder if maybe from a dabchick.

Hi Dave, I was there for about an hour and did not see a coot but dense growth blocked the view of the lagoon. Coot was actually my first thought on the day but the miaow sound put me off. Jim

Re: Unknown calls at Matahi Lagoon
Thanks Dave I've been fretting about this on and off for months and secretly hoping it was dabchicks.

The "ticks" sound like adult coot.
