Pity About the Fence

Shame about the fence getting in the way but I reckon any chance photo of a Water Rail is worth it. This could easily be the same bird that appeared in the garden a couple of times over the winter as it was hanging around the same water course that starts at the back of our house.

Respite from the gales today although still a very cold wind blowing in from the north. Strong southerly forecast for the next 24 hours before becoming gale force again as it turns back north.
