Ingrebourne Valley - Spotted Crake
A dash over to see the Spotted Crake at the Ingrebourne Valley early doors before heading to Rainham for the Wildlife Explorers group.
The juvenile bird showed straight away in front of the viewpoint in the presence of around twenty other congregated birders.
There were small pulses of Barn Swallow and House Martin moving through, and common warblers in the form of Chiffchaff and Blackcap were present in the scrub.
A Kingfisher dashed low across the scrape, and a Grey Wagtail flew high over.
This was my first visit to this site, and it really does look great. There was plenty going on with at least 21 Common Snipe counted feeding along the muddy fringes in the company of three vocal Green Sandpiper.
