There are few ducks on the sewage ponds at the moment.
No doubt they are enjoying conditions elsewhere. However there are a few
Spotless Crakes around the margins of FSP 6. These are reported from time
to time and it is one of the minor mysteries of the local bird scene whether
this come-and-go species is, in this case, there all the time. They are
quite difficult to see at this location, but you can pick them up by
their little squeaks, which should become more evident now that the reed warblers
have become more subdued during their pre-departure phase.
