On my search for an elusive kingfisher, I stumbled upon a well camouflaged water rail literally splashing around in the shallow water in a mix of bathing and looking for food - or at least it’s how I interpreted it!

    What a lucky sighting! I’m assuming the European rails are as elusive as the ones we see (or don’t see!) in the Americas.

      I’ll have to read more about them, but it is indeed the only one I saw and recognized since starting photographing birds (around 1 year ago).

      Thanks for the heads up, I also see it and it’s added automatically when I share a PixelFed link through Mlem on iOS… I’ll maybe look into it but the Fediverse is really messy sometimes 😆
