I shall be in reasonably early tomorrow so we shall be opening at 0730 or there abouts. The Baillon's Crake has been showing on and off all day from the Butts Hide and most people got to see it for a few seconds at least. Normal closing time of 5pm tomorrow so that I can get some rest before the 0500 opening on Saturday morning!
Hobbies were superb today with some magnificent flybys that were often close enough to distract even the most ardent Crake Hunter, as a Migrant Hawker met its end literally outside the window! Interestingly I reckon that I might have had a Red veined Darter from there as well today so keep your eyes peeled while Blue Eyed Hawker was seen again yesterday from the Butts Hide and on the Dragonfly Pool.
Water Voles have been excellent, frogs vocal and foxes annoying....
Let us see what tomorrow holds....
