Spotted Crake, Burton Mere Wetlands

Spotted Crake 1 adult
Dunlin 5
Ruff 5
Black-tailed godwit 50

The crake showed well, but briefly, on two occasions. It walked quickly along the edge of the vegetation in a bay to the left of the hide at the back of the main scrape. They have bred at Burton Mere Wetlands this year, and yesterday two chicks were seen. Unfortunately I didn't see the chicks, but it was my first Spotted Crake for 17 years so I'm not complaining!

Year: 267 (Spotted Crake)
