Sandy! This is lovely. There seems to be rails all over the world and so many different sorts.

This one has given you such an elegant intent pose. Love the colours. Background is good and I like the green leaves above the birds. They give the bird that illusive, secretive behaviour we all know.

Beautiful setting for this bird, Sandy. I really like the log it’s walking down and the bird itself is excellent.

Great composition, Sandy, giving a nice sense of habitat. Excellent color and detail in the rail.

Very nice light and composition with enough space on the left to balance the bird. Great colors on bird. Well done.
