Simon ,
You did well to get the camera on the Water Rail , and yes , I know what you mean about Robin shots , irresistable !
Tantalising shot of the water rail simon. You don't get many chances with them. Well done.
Great day by the looks of it. I looked for the Water Rail on Sunday but didn't see it. Nice Blackbird by the way.
Nice variety of birds, there at the moment Simon.
