At last..........................

After 5 long years I finally caught up with Water Rail at Thornton on Saturday afternoon. Proably the best views I've ever had of this bird as it fed out in the open with 3 Moorhen for company at the western end. By utilising state of the art mobile communications (my old Nokia) I was able to glean that Andy was watching a second individual at the top end of the Res at the same time. Bogey bird well and truly unblocked.......
