Thought you may like to some footage of a spotted crake we filmed in Somerset recently. A rare bird in the UK more numerous in mainland Europe . This sequence forms part of a much longer project, have just added a title and end credit to it.

Thanks, Mick. I quite enjoyed seeing that. Good-luck with the bigger project.

Thanks for watching Mike, pleased you enjoyed it

I shoot a lot of birdwatchers and always kick myself later when all I see is the rear end of the people. So what I do now is tell the birders that I am going to film them walking into the camera. Much better shots that way. Also it is best to get them walking into the sun. They never do this on their own, cause you can not see birds well looking into the sun.

Ken.... who is now going to film birds and people.

interesting bird! thanks for sharing, very nice.
