	Boreal Forests of the World Bird Species - Spotted Crake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Spotted crake is a small member of the Rail family.
		The spotted, little and Bailon's crakes are found in Europe and Asia, and Baillon's crakes are also found in southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand, an unusual discontinous distribution with isolated populations in different parts of the world.
		Crakes are skulking birds living in thick cover and flying only short distances, except when on migration.

	Spotted Crake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Immediate thoughts were of a Spotted Crake and a short-while later, identification was confirmed when the bird came back into sight, giving excellent views at a distance of 50 metres.
		Spotted Crake was first added to the Nottinghamshire species list in 1863.
		Following a gap of nearly fifty years, Spotted Crakes again were found in the county, with three birds at Stoke Bardolph in 1944.

	Spotted flycatcher - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		Larger than a pied flycatcher, it is grey-brown in colour with an off-white breast, streaked with darker grey and a streaked forehead.
		During the breeding season spotted flycatchers can be found throughout the UK, although they are scarce in the far north and west and almost absent from Scottish islands.
		High densities are found from Devon and Kent as far north as the Dornoch Firth.

	BirdForum - Great Day at martin-mere.
		Went to martin-mere for a few hour's, headed straight to north-west-water hide, to see if the spotted crake was still showing.
		Blissfully unaware of the Spotted Crake, on learning my route (I did say it was my first time) I again bumped into the guy who'd told me about the fighting raptors previously, he then told me of the Crake as I was near the NWW Hide.
		Despite being there several hours, we never had enough time to look at the captive birds, and the full layout of the park, which looks good, but of course one is always torn between that and looking at the wild birds.

	Toadsnatcher >>> Spotted Crake
		Matt said "...but what I'm really looking out for is Spotted Crake..." and out one popped!
		I arrived next morning along with Mike Weedon and Katie Fuller and the crake duly obliged.
		We simply have too many sites in the PBC area which could host this species in the autumn, but Ferry Meadows is one of the more likely, as not only is it fantastic habitat, but the observer coverage increases the chance of things like this being picked up.

		From a fly-by of Rose-ringed Parakeets at Mars Hill, a male Red-footed Falcon hovering over the Parthenon to the Spotted Crake feeding in the evening sunshine along the East River on Lesvos, our Greek migration Venture was terrific.
		This year we were on Lesvos a few days earlier and because of this, we may have had a greater number of transient warblers, such as Wood, Icterine, Willow and Garden.
		Always a tough one, but the Spotted Crake did steal the show, followed closely by the abundant and very exotic European Bee-Eaters and great views of 2 Northern Goshawks.

	Porzana porzana
		Spotted crakes are smaller and even more portly than Water Rails.
		The short bill confirms that this isn't a Water Rail and the snowfall of white spots on the head, breast and upper-parts proves that you have a Spotted Crake and not something even rarer.
		A rare and extremely secretive breeder at a few sites where they are mostly heard calling at dusk.

	Mike's Birding & Digiscoping Blog
		When I got out of my car at the DCU parking lot of Pheasant Branch Conservancy this morning, someone was very helpful letting me know that a school field trip of 130 children would be arriving within minutes.
		Luckily for me there are several decent alternative birding spots near Middleton where I might do a little digiscoping.
		I decided to try the Saint Benedict Center, a place I've led birding field trips in the spring but seldom check during fall migration.
