LOL .... obviously that habitat makes getting a picture way faaaar too easy then James. With a rail, I would expect you to be crawling on your belly through a reedy swamp!!!:-O

However, we don't have many pictures of this one coming in and yours is the first for 2 years - a great find for you.

Many thanks for sharing him with us lad.

Not a species we see very often here in the Gallery and such a lovely image it is!

Habitat loss is a problem everywhere. I guess this one was only in the middle of the road.
A great capture !
