Water Rail:Today’s
morning started with lots of strimming around both sides of the Reception Hide, which
meant very little birds of the feeders around the centre and birds on the main scrape.
All this disturbance
was for a specific purpose, to cut rides in to the reeds in order to make
seeing the resident Water Rails easier. And just as the wardens put their
strimmers down the invisible bird made an appearance.
It’s amazing
how Water Rail's evaporate and disappear in to their environment, behind the
reeds.
