Water Rail, Long-tailed Tits
Writing this some time later so can't recall much more now. Weather cold and outlying areas frozen. A party of Long-tailed Tits along Rakewood Road gave me the runaround while I tried to film them. The video below is the best I could manage.
Rather more exciting was a Water Rail on the 'usual' stream; perfect conditions for it but it still caught me by surprise and I failed to get it on camera, fumbling with the tripod as it ran away upstream. Maybe next time...
