A Spotted Crake had been found
on the scrape and was viewable from Plover Hide yesterday and it was still
there this morning. I couldn’t go early
due to grandparent duties but did manage to get there for just over an hour
late morning.
David, Malcolm and Roger had
been able to go earlier this morning and David and Malcolm were still three
when I arrived having seen it. The hide
isn’t the best for viewing and just after I got into the upper viewing area
Dave Grey announced it was out again. I
couldn’t see the area from where I was stood and it had disappeared when David
offered me his viewing area. It wasn’t
long before it came out again briefly and then again for slightly longer but
when I left forty-five minutes later it hadn’t reappeared.
There was also an adult
Pectoral Sandpiper, which was considered to be the same bird that had been
present at Cropston Reservoir last week.
I didn’t see a great deal else but as Dave Grey and I were leaving a
Peregrine flew over and flushed everything of the scrape and Dave and I then
had the Pectoral Sandpiper in flight with a group of Lapwings over the car
park.
