Spotted Crake

Thought I would have another ride over to Bedfordtoday to see the Spotted Crake, this afternoon it seemed a lot more mobile flying in between 2 spots on the boating lake plus a Mink was causing mayhem on the embankment very close to the spot,so got a feeling that the crakes departure will be imminent. Lovely bird and a real treat for Beds birders and those from further afield.
