Hi Tim,

Thanks for showing us the photo, I personally find this one of the most beutiful rails in the world, to see one live must be amazing, your friend must be really lucky to get such a excellent photo of that bird, I get a bit jelous 3

I dont think there is any other photos around, or is there? however if so I doubt that they are as good and clear as this one.

Isn't it the first live sighting or am I out of date?

Certainly more exciting then the crappy grebe.

Intrigued to know if it is a Dave I know.

Thanks Tim, (and thank Dave). This is one that I figured I would not see photos of ever other than perhaps some skins shots. Pretty Rail!!

Yes, certainly a first photograph, otherwise Rasmus and I would have already found one.

My rare bird picture archive is building up nicely. Just keep them coming like these. I don't mind. Thanks Tim (and your mate) for giving us another worlds first.

Very nice capture. It'll be nice to think that in years to come 'Oh yeah, I was there when they first posted a picture of one...'
I'm getting round to thinking that rails are just camera tarts. I've never seen one without a camera being pointed in their direction...
Say well done to Dave.

I was there when the image was taken. The bird was pretty close - put it this way - no zoom needed!

Hi Tim

I was also there when the photo was taken because I took the photo, but i aint the Dave that u think took it.

That Dave emailed it round but it was actually my photo coz Dave and Simon left their cameras in the Car.

Anyway doesnt matter who took the photo coz it was so close any1 could have.

If u get the chance to c this great bird, go for it, it only took us half an hour of looking to get the bird at less than a meter away

Cheers

Guernsey Dave

Wow, pretty bird. Congratulations to those who've seen this rare bird in the wild. And I still look for my first rail...
