The project foresees the production of a national corncrake Action Plan and management plans for each of the three sites. |
The latest evidence is that corncrake numbers have severely declined in the Valley. |
Like other crakes the corncrake was more prone than most to colliding with overhead wires. |
Notable animal species are wolf, otter, sea eagle, imperial eagle, peregrine falcon, corncrake and lesser kestrel. |
I hear my first corncrake in a patch of irises by a roadside croft and spend a tantalising and unsuccessful half-hour trying to get a glimpse of it. |
The note of this little bird seems to be of a ventriloquial character like that of the landrail or corncrake. |
