Not a bad way to start a morning, I was there friday evening and looked
for any crakes but unfortunately I dipped out. I did see 33 species in
the hour I was there though. Unfortunately no Black Bitterns either.
can any one shed some light on the locations they have been seen around
the park
Thanks
