The
pheasant family were around for quite some time. My patience paid
off, and within the 25-30 minutes I remained at the hide, the water
rail made an appearance. This is the 3rd trip in a row I have been
lucky enough to spot it.
The
pheasants remained also, although when all 3 were there, one chased
the water rail away a couple of times - it moved towards the water
but then returned to view 3-4 times.
Munching
away with the either juvenile or female pheasant, the water rails
return appearance gave further chances of a good shot.
The
moorhen and mallard stayed around also, and a female mallard joined
her mate not long afterwards.
That water rail is perseverant. :D
