Little Crake

Male Little Crake at Metochi Lake, Lesvos May 2012.

 With water levels at Metochi Lake a little high prior to the Ornitholiday's tour to Lesvos, there had been few reports of any crakes. We paid a couple of visits to Metochi during our week on Lesvos, seeing Little Crakes on both occasions. The dawn visit was however by far the best with this male showing very well on the opposite bank in the early morning light.
