My first Water rail – videos from Inverleith Pond Edinburgh
February 5, 2015 in sightings
As I can no longer hold a heavy DSLR I’m trying out a lightweight video camera and currently I’m enjoying it. First up a few birds I saw today, all but the common buzzard and fieldfare are firsts for the year as I’ve hardly left the house. There were many other birds seen but these in the list were the new ones for the year and/or rarities for me:
- Common Buzzard x 2
- Coot
- Fieldfare
- Moorhen
- Mute Swan
- Oystercatchers x 7
- Pied wagtail
- Redshank x 2
- Redwing
- Song Thrush
- Water rail – first time ever!
The 4 videos I’ve currently uploaded, my favourite first – less sounds of my crutches and my dodgy zooms and pans. Lot for me to learn and see if my dystonia spasms and shakes are ok with video work.

I do like the splashing about near the start of this video.
