A phone call from Matt Knott telling me that there was a SPOTTED CRAKE on Bowling Green Marsh soon had me dashing off down there in hope that I would see it .
On arrival the bird wasn`t on show ! but after about 5 minutes it came out from the reed bed on the left hand side of the Marsh .
As once again the bird was very distant I could only manage to get these record shots of it .
Seen on the Marsh also were 17 LITTLE EGRET , 6 BAR TAILED GODWIT a KNOT & a RUFF .
