Hi John nice to have seen you again.Regarding the LSW I wouldn't have looked for it on the reeds unless I'd been tipped off by one of the warders.

I managed to see the Spotted Crake between 6.20pm and 7.30pm after spending a lot of hours waiting for it to appear. On news of it being seen from the John Baldwin Hide I changed hides and finally saw it come into view on more than one occassion. Great to see but elusive :eek!:
