Sheltering

Just as we were about to leave the hide this Moorhen emerged from the reeds.  Obviously feeling the biting cold wind across the water, it kept moving.  Unfortunately for us it swam off in the wrong direction.  The feeding station was very busy.  We intended to have a brisk walk right round the reserve but the path was flooded and having had one fall in slippery mud recently we turned back.  I wasn't prepared to repeat the experience for him to capture an action shot!  :-))
