URBAN WATER RAIL

On his way to work this morning, Harry Pepper was passing The Varsity pub in Terrace Road, Aberystwyth at 7.50am when he noticed a Water Rail in the disused doorway, opposite Boots. It was flapping its wings and jumping up and down, tapping its bill on the pub's glass window. Harry bent down to pick up the bird but it strutted to the pavement, ran down the street for a short distance and flew off towards the sea!
