Moorhen

After I dropped my mother back home Molly and I took our usual walk along the river. I was hoping to see either the heron or swans. Unfortunately there was a lot going on - people swimming and canoeing so not a lot of wildlife around. At one point Molly went down the bank and I'm pretty sure I saw a black rat run off. I only got a quick glimpse of it's back end and tail.
I did manage to get a picture of this solitary moorhen feeding in the shallows of the island.
