I often walk by a long narrow stretch of water at the side of the Lodmoor Reserve, Weymouth.
Around one chance in twenty I may catch sight of Water Rail that I know reside in that area.

Thankfully this was one of those times that I was successful. That said, frustratingly, I usually can hear them making that Squealing Pig like call without any sighting at all.
The Water Rail produces two clutches per year of 6 to 11 eggs between March and August. The Water Rail is a very secretive species with its habitat being well vegetated wetland area.
Hi Roy... Very nice pictures... Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteThanks Ana.
DeleteOnneksi olkoon! Hieno havainto! Olisi kiva nähdä se joskus.
ReplyDeleteKiitos Anne. Niitä ei ole koskaan helppo löytää, niin salaperäisiä.
DeleteHi Roy, excellent photos of the waterrail. I never saw one. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline.
DeleteNice photos! Really good that you caught it out and about, you must have been very well hidden!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy. I get lucky sometimes.😇
