Water Rail

This is a VERY poor photo but the bird is pretty special. Water Rails are one of our most secretive birds. I've never seen one before and never thought I would. We saw this one from the hide at Greylake reserve. Unfortunately, although it wasn't very far away it was behind a fence.

We called in at Greylake on our way back to Bristol and saw the same Water Rail. Fav

Good shot despite the fence, it is always exciting when you see a bird for the first time, something you never forget
