Redstart at antons house (which I'm sorry to have missed - looks like a cracking male).

Also had a bird on 2 occasions beside graces house. Theres a little drainage ditch to the left of the house that you step over when walking towards the back garden. Twice, I had a fleeting glance of the arse end of a small rail. It ran into cover on both occasions. I'm assuming water rail, but who knows!

Derek.
