Little Crake Again

Dad took me to see the Little Crake again at Minsmere last night, so that we could get better views of it, as the light is poor in the mornings but better in the evenings. As soon as we got in the hide, the Crake was showing well. We only managed 1 OK picture of the Crake, but I did manage a better video. I also went to see the Great White Egret from Island Mere, just so I could tick it on the year list!

Happy Birding!

LITTLE CRAKE at Minsmere - MEGA!!!!

Today Dad and I went to see Suffolk's 3rd Little Crake, which was at Minsmere. It was another MEGA rarity, so it was a must see. We arrived at Minsmere at about 9:45am, and headed straight for Bittern Hide. The hide was packed full of birders, but we managed to find a little space and squeeze in.

It didn't take long for the Little Crake to show, and boy did it! It showed really well, walking about infront of the hide, but still a bit distant, and plus the sun was right in your face, so taking pictures was always going to be bad. Here are some of the best and a terrible video.

We also got a distant Stonechat at the Sluice but nothing else for the rest of the day.

Happy Birding!
