Banded Rail ( Rallus phillipensis )

 

Last Rail for a while I promise, but Im so concerned for these vanishing birds.

.

I know I go on but they have all but gone from the northern tip of the South Island of NZ

Also in the North, decreasing and their habitat destroyed by development and thoughtless habitat modification by people that know little about the birds or any birds for that matter..

My sole reason for posting images is to advocate for our wildlife for in a few short years many will be gone joining hundreds that have carelessly been destroyed in our past...It is gravely shameful that we do so little to preserve that which makes our lives so much the better and there is something missing in mens hearts when they stand aside to let it happen...
