Was going to put this under the which bird thread, but for all I know it could be a pesky amphibian. Hear it all the time, low down, across a nearby stream but in bushes.
Any takers for this mp3?

It won’t play for me either.
Ah. this won’t go far then. Hang on.
Slightly more inconvenient, u now have to download it.
Unmistakable. A white-breasted waterhen.
That’s what the thread needed, the stamp of authority 
:bravo:.
From Wiki: [quote]They are somewhat bolder than most other rails and are often seen stepping slowly with their tail cocked upright in open marshes or even drains near busy roads[/quote]
This one bloody isn’t. I’ve been stalking the bugger for nearly a month with no sightings. That’s what set me off down the amphibian route. Stock photo:
Ok, it’s nesting. Probably.
