Some of the younger guys with better memories  :wink may recall i had a strange bird stayed the winter in my garden. Turned out to be a water Rail which are uncommon in the UK.

Well it must have liked it because its back  :cool:

That's cool jimbo. We had a right job trying to identify that birdy last year. Did someone get it in the end?
