Rallus aquaticus

You're much more likely to hear one of these than you are to see it. They sound a bit like piglets squealing apparently. The Water Rail is a very shy, secretive bird who lives in wetland areas, spending most of the time hidden in reed beds. This one lives locally and although I've managed to get a couple of photos before now, today is the first time I've got a decent enough view to merit blipping him. Hope you all have a great weekend!
