It's stopped raining.

After raining for the best part of two days it finally stopped at lunchtime today so I went across to Marsh Lane just to get out in the open air if nothing else.

Saw the Water Rail on the causeway again but it was so close and so quick I failed to get a shot off before it dived into the reeds.

As I couldn't see anything special from the hides and having recently been upgraded by the BIF committee from level 9 (dreadful) to level 8 (poor) I thought I'd practice some "birds in flight shots" and try for another upgrade soon.
