Description
This Sora, a rail, is feeding on plants, frequently flicking its tail up-and-down. When weary of us photographers it hides inside some rushes which appear to be a nesting place.
Its face is dark, which shows that it it is in its breeding stage.
A beautiful little bird, just a tad larger than a Robin, it also swims, which surprised me as it does not have visible webbing between its toes.
A shy bird, we have been lucky to see it so easily when we approach quietly.

Thank you, Nancy. Hope to be able to see its chicks, as we are pretty sure where its nest is.
