Spotted Crake Wilstone Herts

A simple trip to Wilstone Reservoir See's us romp up around first light looking for the Spotted Crake

 that has been around since early September.
We spot the bird after 10 minutes in the second reed bed just by cemetery corner ,It comes out of the reeds & walks about with the Moorhens giving us great views of the bird as it goes up & down the mud in front of the reeds.

First light looking over the Reservoir

So a nice easy tick & back home before ten o'clock.
