More Crake and a Hen Harrier

Saturday 24th - Sunday 25th September 2016

I was back at WWT on Saturday planning to go on the morning safari. With that cancelled due to the wind, I decided to get another fill of the friendly neighbourhood Spotted Crake still performing along the South Finger Walkway on the small dragonfly pond.

 

I had tried at Frampton earlier for the Hen Harrier without joy, so I made a quick return visit on Sunday morning to Splatt Bridge. This visit was more productive with good views of the ring-tail Hen hunting over the 100 acre and foreshore, and even managed to get a distant record shot.
