I was lucky enough to spot this Water Rail (クイナ) before it saw me. They're very shy birds, so it was wonderful to be able to observe it feeding for about 10 minutes.

Look at those talons... Perfect for grabbing fish from the water.
Ospreys (ミサゴ) are common here in Munakata but I always get a thrill seeing them.
