Well Paul, that is the best image of a Water Rail I have ever seen! It is a pity about the blades of grass in front of the bird but there is not a lot you can do about that. A superb image, well captured :toast: :toast: :jump: :jump:

Fantastic detail in this! I agree it's a shame about the feet, but everything else makes up for it.
