No spotted crake but spotted a harrier

A look around gateshead this morning was very quiet :( 15 white wags at kibblesworth grange pool was the highlight of the morning, 5 redpolls, 2 siskin, chiffchaff and a female blackcap were in my parents garden. A spotted crake came on the pager this afternoon, so of i went to druridge pools nr, but no sign of the bird :( but a cream crown marsh harrier put on a show which was new for my british year list.
