Water Rail (Rallus aquaticus) pausing in it's persuit for food The Water Rail has paused before beginning another circuit of it's little pool of water fringed with ice in a ditch. This was one of the very few birds able to feed during the hard winter of 2010. Main waterbodies, rivers and the ground had frozen over, for a few days.
