Like Lyndon, in his posting below, I went to Westfield Pill hoping to see an Otter but failed to do so. By way of compensation I saw this very confiding Water Rail at close quarters and managed some shots despite the gloomy conditions. It fed within a few feet of me for several minutes - a treat to see a normally shy bird so close. Look at the size of it's feet!
Otherwise very quiet at the Pill.
