You love to hear it. There are all sorts of conservation programs in place at the moment in every corner of the country and results can be finnicky. This is class.
I can’t be the only one that read that as cornflakes
How much corn could a corncrake crake?
Kellogg’s Corncrakes?
My old biology teacher was a champion of the Corncrake. As much as we respected this , it almost seemed obsessive (in hindsight rightly so)
We used to derail lessons by asking questions about the Corncrake. He even caught a lad on the class PC with MS Word opened with big capital letters stating “Big Joe loves milk on his corncrakes”
My relatives have said they’ve heard them for the first time in a long time locally here in Tyrone.
I had no idea they were effectively only in the west and northwest. I always assumed they were nationwide, even if severely threatened. Had we really reduced their range so much? Poor lads. I’m glad there’s some light now in their tragic story.
A species that used to thrive due to old farming practices like haymaking, don’t think they do to well on wild land.
That’s great news
I remember reading a story in school about Corncrakes, in one of those anthology books, about a Corncrake named crex and a combine harvester rolling over the nest, or something.

Never was a Corncrake girl.
