Hearing about some obliging Water Rails at Attenborough Nature Reserve, I left work early on Friday 9th March and with still decent light despite the bubbling cloud, I was gob-smacked by just how unwary the birds were. Three in all, with a little patience I was able to get some amazing images of this normally retiring species. A supporting cast of Greater Scaup, Little Egret, Dunnock and Robin, made for a pleasing early spring birding afternoon.

Yep, I've red that they've been walking through people's legs!
