This is a long shot. I am in Barcelona tomorrow afternoon and my travelling companion needs Baillon's Crake. There is a sighting posted today here:-

Anyone able to point me to somewhere with better directions/location?

All the best

There is a train station very close to it (and I expect trains to be really regulars, it is still urban area)

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

www.google.com

that's the name of the station: Sant Adrià de Besòs. Edit, sorry, the actual name seems to be Estació de Sant Adrià ("Sant Adria station"), the previous name I wrote may refer to the suburb.


However, I cannot give you further information, as I don't know the exact piece of reed/shore where it hangs. But it looks small enough. Depending on where you are in Barcelona, you may find reasonable to get a taxi or an uber/whatever is on use there.
