Sandford-on-Thames
Spotted Crake: Still singing at 2215 in small marsh to left of Heyford Hill Lane just before railway bridge. Bird is favouring centre of marsh, 100 yards from roadside. It's best to park in housing estate at start of Heyford Hill Lane and then continuing on foot along rough track to view marsh.
