One from last week I was lucky enough to catch him/her in a faily open patch but it was dark.

Nicley detailed shot. A little large in the frame for my taste, but I'd love to have that particular problem with a water rail...

You dont get many of these up Cannock Chase way ! Great for a 300 at 1600 iso Nice one.

Hi Ian, a great capture of a very difficult bird.

Right little bleeders to catch well done a nice sharp image.

Beautiful birds these are and you have captured its markings/colours really well in a natural setting,a lower POV would have been great but may not have been possible, as these birds are very 'jumpy'Very good and strong Water Rail @iso 1600

Nice head on shot Ian.
They can certainly move a bit !
Great birds close up.
