Water rail 1 in ditch on west side

The Water rail was in the ditch between the outlet and the south west corner. It didn't seem too bothered by my presence, and I just walked alongside it for a couple of minutes. Unfortunately it was too dark in the ditch for a decent photo, and it didn't stay still for long enough. It was very vocal, squealing away most of the time I was watching it.
The siskins were an impressive sight in the woods, one of the largest flocks I've seen at the mere.
