  1. It’s a great bird, and as rails go relatively easy to see.

  8. Hi Bob,
    Wonderful images of the Water Rail, a bird I have heard calling whilst on duty with the Osprey but only seen the once this year.
    All the best, John

  10. What a beautiful water rail. He/she looks like they are floating on the surface, but I bet long legs sink into the mud!

  16. Estupendas fotografías. El hecho de tener sus patas totalmente hundidas en el agua le da un aspecto muy peculiar.
    Un abrazo,
