I walk over there almost every day. The pair of Spotted Crakes are almost always visible. I had held high hopes for them breeding but no evidence yet.
Baillon’s Crake is a bit more elusive and I probably only see it about once a week. I cheat a bit and if I see it, I tend to choose that as my reporting day. After all, COG doesn’t really want a daily report.
I have not seen the Spotless crake since last year.

It’s not always possible to spot the crakes at Crace pond, but I was in luck today!
