Showed well this morning, intermittently along the edge of the eastern-most reed bed on the Reedbed lagoon. Too many Moorhens and Coots for it to stay out for more than 3-4 minutes, but showed between 05.20 - 06.15 at least. Phil |

I finally managed to connect with this bird at 05.50 this morning when it showed on and off for about 15 minutes. Despite staying at Frampton for another 5 hours I did not see the Spotted Crake again, although one person saw it briefly at about 08.00. It seems that first light might be the best time for views of this elusive individual but early risers should be aware that one has to look directly toward the rising sun in order to see it. The Pectoral Sandpiper was also reported to be still at Frampton today but, despite several attempts, I did not locate it, although one Wood Sandpiper did show nicely. Roy |
