Shefford Water Rail

Following the Beds Birds mailing by Roy Dunham I had a go at photographing this bird on 9 Feb. Conditions were less than ideal however as the the walk through was very icy, light was poor and it was raining. Furthermore after the bird was disturbed by two large, noisy and very boisterous dogs it failed to show again.

I had another go today. It took a while but here are three of the shots I obtained with which I am quite pleased.
