Spotted Crake

I got news this morning of a Spotted Crake showing on the River Otter at Budleigh Salterton . So off I went in hope that it would still be showing when I got there , and as it was I had no problems at all because the finder Chris Townend was still there and very kindly put me on to the bird . I managed to get these shots of it and was pleased with them because of the long distance between me and the bird and I didn`t expect to get any at all .
This is the first Spotted Crake that I have seen since the one on Blackhole Marsh back in 2015 .

Thanks Chris
