Water Rail

It was cold this morning walking around Rainham Marshes- bitterly cold in fact but I was determined to add to my patch year list. I was most of the way round without adding anything new, when 2 Raven called and flew East over the woodland area. These are now being seen regular on the reserve which is fanstasic news.

Due to the windy conditions it was hard going however I did stop at the small pool and wait for the Water Rail 's to show but just like last week it was a waste of time. Not to be beaten I waited near the feeders and watched and waited and watched and then BINGO!
