An unusual visitor

Tuesday 9th Feb. 2010.

                        I've had an unusual visitor to my garden yesterday and he's still in the garden this morning , I've identified him as a male WATER RAIL. He's very difficult to film  and I've only managed to obtain some still frames from my video camera so far to up load onto this post.
         Since the first 3 photo's were up loaded I've put a memory card into my video camera and obtain some better images they are limited to 4,000,000 pixels in photo mode but with the 12x zoom I can get nearer to the Water Rail.
The last 3 photos were taken late this afternoon in the fading light.
