Water Rail leads the way in 2017

The first catch for the Group this year resulted in 33 birds including a rather nice Water Rail. Of the total included two overwintering Chiffchaff, the same number of Goldcrest, seven Robins and three Song Thrushes. Below are a few nice photographs taken by Doug Rudge during last Sunday's session.
