Little crake

Managed to get there just as the crake was showing in it's favoured spot beside the grassy bridge this evening (SR 97587 94727). It spent most of the time weaving in and out of the lefthand reeds on the western side pausing and picking up invertebrates I presume. Would have been easy to miss if you didn't know it was there. Flock of Lapwing flew across the lake, still a few swallows passing and 2-3 Kingfishers.
