USUAL RULES APPLY FOLKS. NO EXPERIENCED BIRDERS.
Again, pretty awful shot, but it should give you enough.
It looks like the side of a Water Rail I saw one along our canal!

Wracked my brains, looked in umpteen books and I can definately say it is a BIRD!!
Or maybe a Buzzard????

You have no control over what life & people throw at you - but you have full control over how you deal with it!
Doh! And I thought I was being really sneaky!
Well done littleowl
Wow,Thanks Mickycoop!.The reason I got, It Is a couple of months ago I saw my first one on our local canal, I had to post the pick on the forums because I had never seen one before and I had no Idea what It was.Plus have seen other pics on these forums since.

They're wonderful, aren't they? This one was sunning itself with two others out in the open, not more than 15 yards away on an icy winters day on a local SSSI. Not a great shot, but I always keep them for records.
I think you have more of a chance seeing them In winter,after watching umteen Moorhens It was nice to spot something different.
