WWT Slimbridge.
A small relative of the moorhen and coot and about the same size as a redshank, the Water Rail lives in reedbeds and freshwater wetlands where it feeds on invertebrates and small fish. Secretive and rarely seen, Water rails are more often heard calling; making a sound like a piglet squealing, they are unmistakeable. Around 1,100 pairs nest in in the UK.
My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
