Poseur

Not something Water Rails normally do - but Walter is not a normal Water Rail.

 

Usually a very secretive bird and heard a lot more than seen. That 'squealing piglet' call that they make is wonderful! Apparently that call (which both sexes do) is called 'sharming'. This appears to based on its old name in Norfolk of Sharmer (that would be another hour of Google reasearch to find out where that came from!).

 

Taken in the glorious Norfolk Broads.
