Not seen a Water Rail for ages. Good images of this rather elusive bird.

Re: Water Rail

That's a nice bird that I've not seen before Stan - the eye is sharpest by a whisker in No.1 but I prefer the composition of No.2 overall - well done

This morning weather was not too bad at all. No rain, no wind and temp about 5 C. Actually somewhat warmer than last night about 11 when we had a bit of snow.

Just looked out window at work and its very windy, raining quite heavy and looks darker than when I arrived at 8.

So the poor weather forecast is arriving it seems.
