Water rail & other bits & bobs

At the entrance to Winterton farm Marloes, there is a small stream that drains from the pond & goes under the road. Twice now I have seen a shadowy figure dart for cover in the small pool to the left as one goes up the road towards the village. First time was late in the evening (when I was half asleep) Second time was early this morning (when I was half awake) I`m satisfied that it is a water rail - if someone more alert than me passes by - please check that I`m not dreaming!
Also Lapwings appear to be on the increase in the Mere area,(c70) with a possible Golden plover with them.
Just to add to Dave`s comments, 1 Med gull also had a green ring on it`s left leg + 2 Grey plovers. Checked out Milford docks for other Gulls, but bad light stopped play.
