A day out to Rainham Marsh, Greater London - September 10, 2012


Dave, Roger and I had made the journey as there had been a Baillion’s Crake had been present since the 8th, but there had been no sightings when we arrived in the hide at about 10:00.  The hide gradually filled and at 10:50 it was observed briefly and then on several other occasions until 11:15 and whilst Dave had very brief views Roger and I were unsuccessful.  We eventually had to call it a day at about 13:40 only to find that it reappeared at 14:10 but then there were no further sightings by 18:15.

Two juvenile Hobbies and two Water Rails were also observed on a number of occasions.

Another good sighting was a European Water Vole.
