Spotted crake

As the flood waters subsided here in Gloucestershire, the rotting vegetation attracted many flies.  This occasional visitor near Cheltenham was obviously attracted to this treat.  A difficult bird to photograph, it was only on my third visit could I get some sharp images, but I had to shoot at 400ASA to get them - the bird hardly stops moving and it prefers the shade!  Note the flies on the water in the lower photo.

A typically shy and elusive bird that brings great excitement to those who see one.

Getting close up photographs of the Water rail can be very hard indeed.
