I shot these today at my local Wet Lands (Fairburn Ings), apparently they are a shy bird and usually hide away. There was another guy (well it was a gal actually) who must have taken at least 200 shots of it, she did tell me it's name but I've forgotten it so if someone could refresh my memory I'd be grateful; I think she said "Water" something. I'm sure you've guessed by now I don't specialise in bird photography ;) Thanks for looking.

Ah! the old Rallus Aquaticus (What a wonderful thing Google is, although I couldn't find it there before you gave me the last section of it's name) Cheers.
