We have had several Little Crakes visiting our Pygmy Cormorant and Reedbed Hides throughout August. They are daily visitors with probably more than two individuals at each location. These secretive birds seem to be regular from our hides in late summer. Based on our 2009 and 2010 experiences we can say that our hides in the Hortobágy are the most reliable sites to photograph this skulking species! They have feeding very close to the hides, sometime as close as 50cm(!) but usually within 8 meters against a lovely background of yellow Fringed Water-lily and Greater Bladderwort.

Come and photograph Little Crakes from our hides!
