Water Rail-nearly to close!!

Never been this close to a Water Rail before, it just kept moving towards the camera!!

Wonderful shot, yes in the winter, when food must be scarse, they do appear to be much more confiding if you keep still. I've often seen them well away from cover.

Great capture, love the ripples

Great shot, Sir, the ripples and birdy details are just wonderful! Glad her sharp-looking beak didn't get much closer.....!
