From what i've heard today, there are possibly two Spotted Crakes present. I don't know who the observers were, but apparently they described the birds well. This was from the East Hide sometime this afternoon.

This morning, i had:

Wood sand - 1
Little stint - 2
Spotted Redshank - 1

I've not really looked for the crake since seeing it initially (6 hours in the East Hide is not that appealing!), but there is enough habitat to hide a few things out there...

Thanks for the replies. May give it a go tomorrow. Only spent about 5 hours looking so far.
