16/01/15 Water Rail - number 100 on my Year List

Friday  16th January 2015 
West Rise Marsh near Eastbourne

This had to be my shortest birdwatch of all time.  A few minutes after starting I suffered from really bad **** and abandoned my plans to look for Bearded Tits and Jack Snipe at West Rise Marsh.

In my moment of most distress I am pleased to announce that I still managed to see a lovely Water Rail as it crossed the flooded channel moving east.  The things people will do to get a year tick! 



My 100th bird species this year and here we are still only half way through January.
