Water Rail

Spotted this juvenile Water Rail at a local patch.It was a bit far off but still nice to see it struggling along the reeds.

Think half of North Lincs as pictures of this bird.

My effort at this well photographed Rail.

This is a double first really as this was the first time I had ever seen this skulking in and out bird, shows itself then disappears into the reeds!! Probably not quite so exotic as the others but a beauty none the less. One more first to come from "that day" Spent the whole day down...

Never seen a Water Rail chick before so I was very pleased to get this shot.

I hadn't seen a Water Rail for several months when two turned up at a local patch and amazingly were in the open for while.

This Water Rail suddenly appeared near a hide at a local patch and surprisingly ventured out into the open for a time.

At a local patch early in the morning in the undergrowth around what's no more than a large puddle I saw this Water Rail that was franticlly calling out to a couple of youngsters it had lost.It's rare for me to catch one in the open so I was pleased to get this shot.
