    Default Corncrake

    Was hearing this weird bird call today when out to Broubster Leans, came home and listened to several recordings and think that what was what I was hearing, any one else heard them in the county? Am aware of reports just over the boundry into Sutherland.

    Hi LIZZ

    Is this the call you heard, if so it's a male Corncrake calling on territory. Click on this web link for call. http://www.xeno-canto.org/sounds/upl...P/crexcrex.mp3

    nirofo.

    Crex Crex, sweetest sound, if somewhat grating. Yes, just into Sutherland, I hear them too.
