We were surprised to see a Water Rail on a tour last week. Seeing a Water Rail is not that unusual. We see them from time to time on our outings around Norfolk despite them sometimes being hideously elusive and they often only play ball at dusk. They are marvellously adapted birds; superbly designed for their reed bed environment.
We were surprised on two counts. The first … it was in the middle of the day and second … it was out in the open!
