Water Rails in Slimbridge

This video shows a pair of Water Rails in WWT Slimbridge. As most people know these are very difficult birds to observe because they are so wary and spend most of their lives concealed in thick undergrowth. In Slimbridge there is a hide where they are seen fairly regularly although I have personally waited in that hide for over an hour without seeing one!

Saw my first one today, surprisingly nice looking birds

They are! They’re easily spooked so I’m chuffed any time I see one.
