Spotted Crake
There has been great excitement this weekend in the birding world. A Spotted Crake was spotted 
at Waterfall Country Estate (about 5 mins from where we live). The Crake is a rare summer visitor so its appearance has seen hundreds of birders flocking 
to find it.

Re: Spotted Crake
And you managed to find it! 
Great pix on top of it!
How did you manage to get it done? Pushing the others into the pond so you'd have some space for taking photos?

Re: Spotted Crake
Mel, the crake was walking along the waterline, so everyone was lined up on the bank...enough space for everyone.
