It was only on Autumnwatch last night they were saying just how secretive these lovely little things are!
Thanks for sharing your lovely shots  |

The Rails at Amwell are particularly confiding, behave more like Moorhens than Water Rails, great place for pics. |

Brilliant - sounds like Amwell is the place to go, but I reckon you still had a huge helping of luck  Well done - great shots!

Excellent photos Pete- Amwell is a fab place.
Though they can be elusive there are quite a few reserves where birds can be confiding + seen out in the open like this. Real characters these birds + like their relatives, Coots + Moorhens, can be quite aggresive too! | | | |
