Iced Rails

Got away on a flyer, so  off down Butter bee again, hoping Jack would be out & about

No luck there, but Rails aplenty


The first hard frost of year resulting in constant activity from several birds



Spent a while watching them, comical to see them slipping, tripping & crashing through the ice.
Easily one of my favourites to spend time with.
