Water rail
An old one on a very cold day that made the rail come out into the open to have a nap in the sunshine
Location
West Sweden
Scientific name
Rallus aquaticus
Beautiful image of this Water rail sleeping with a top reflection too, excellent Ove.
 
A lovely piece of abstract art, Ove! Or a first-rate capture of a Water Rail having a snooze. The colours are beautiful.
 
do not disturb ... fantastic photo, Ove, never seen a rail in the open like this, they always seem to be running away, love it, many tfs!!
