Water rail (Rallus aquaticus) wading in a marshy creek in the Bloeidaal area near Amersfoort. At first I thought it was a snipe, but once I got it in focus it was clearly something more special. There was a second one in the background as well, but that one quickly retreated back into the reeds.

Water rail (Rallus aquaticus) foraging, and picking something out of the water. The water drops come up with its beak, together with a nice reflection in the still water.
Water rail (Rallus aquaticus) strutting through the shallow water. This is the closest I managed to get, which makes a lot more of its details pop out.
Today I managed to photograph the elusive #Waterrail a bird that's often heard and not seen outside of the reeds.
I got lucky spotting this one foraging and got a few awesome shots! I almost didn't go out because it was cloudy🪶 #Birds #birdphotography #waterrail #waterral #wadingbird #Bloeidaal
