Little Crake 7/11/2023
News of a Little Crake at Linford Lakes NR, Milton Keynes this morning. Non permit holders were to be allowed access after 9am. There was also an Arctic Tern at Willen Lake so I went there first and Linford Lakes was only 10 minutes away. My first visit to Linford Lakes was a successful one, after waiting about an hour the Little Crake showed very well.
Roller
There was a fantastic Roller at Icklingham, Suffolk for about a week. I saw and photographed it on the 26/6/2021. It was quite distant early in the morning, in poor weather, but was much closer when I went back in the afternoon sun. Between these visits I went to Hickling Broad where there was a Collared Pratincole and 2 Black-winged Stilts.
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Otter 30/3/2013
Went to Thetford Forest for the day. Lesser Spotted Woodpecker seen at around 8am at Santon Downham in snow storm!!. It was a female that was drumming and calling. A Woodlark was seen at Mayday Farm and an Otter in Thetford. I have added a couple of low quality pictures of the woodpecker and a video where it can be seen it was snowing at the time. There is also a poor picture of the otter taken on my Iphone.
