Saturday 25th June
Gordon Yates took this Corncrake earlier on this week, just before 10 pm in the evening. Talking of Corncrakes, on Thursday night/ Friday morning in the wee small hours, James had been out around the reserve at Gruinart and had heard 10 Corncrakes, 1 Spotted Crake, a Grasshopper Warbler and also 5 Water Rails. Many thanks are due to Chris and Tony Johnson for their sightings last week.
