Since the new boardwalk went through and enhanced the northern reedbed, our Water Rails have become a lot more relaxed around us humans and now often show quite well even to the extent that we now adults with their litle fluffy black chicks. Les Harrison got some great images of an adult yesterday morning as it fed in the 'bomb crater' pool at the west end of the trail. Our pair of secrestive Bearded Tits have also been seen and much to our delight have had a duo of fledglings in tow.
