After breaking news of a Spotted Crake at Napton Reservoir last night, I ventured out early before work in an effort to see the bird and stood looking into some reeds with Kevin (http://diaryofabirdingmedic.blogspot.co.uk/) for two hours and saw nothing except two Moorhens and a Snipe.
News then broke that the Crake was still there this evening and I zipped back over to Napton and immediately obtained a view thanks to Keith (http://www.boatbirder.com/) through his scope. Over the next hour the bird disappeared and then reappeared a couple of times and eventually I managed to find it sitting slightly back into the reeds preening itself but just could not obtain a record shot as the light had pretty much almost gone completely.
