Anne-Marie gets photo of the week....RSPB,
" Water Rail "
Sometimes described as sounding like a disgruntled squealing piglet. Or perhaps you’ve heard its tired moan and sharp ‘kip’ calls when disturbed, the water rail is a common backdrop to your wetland walk. But how many of us can say we have seen one in the open, or even, photographed one? Well Nature’s Home reader, Anne-Marie Imeson from Nelson in Lancashire and also a member of Nelson Camera Club ticked all the boxes. Anne-Marie photographed this on one of her many visits to Leighton Moss Nature Reserve. Well spotted and a well taken image.
