    Default Water Rail at Lavell's Lake

    Managed to squeeze in a little hide time this afternoon, unfortunately the sun had more or less disappeared by this time. The Water Rail was however showing, so made it worthwhile.

    Did pop into the small Teal Hide, but wasn't much going on there, so then went up to the Bittern Hide, where the Water Rail was.

    Joe was there when I got there, he should have some good photos.

    Lovely shots, Rolf!

    That bird looks as if it's dancing, or has been drinking even!

    LOL yes, hadn't really thought of that, perhaps that's why I have such an affinity with them.
