Three out of four years when monitoring Black Terns in Sörsjön, Tämnaren I have had Little Crakes calling. Nothing last year but in 2022 I had two Little Crakes with the so called female call, in 2021 one with the female call, and this year one with the male call. This species is just barely seen every year in Sweden so Sörsjön is probably the best place in Sweden to hear this rare bird.
