Totally entranced by @theurbanbirder Zoom talk tonight (one of many, many fine Zooms) by Frank Rennie on 'The Secret Life of a Corncrake'. If you haven't come across these talks, do yourself a favour and get onboard - have a look here:

I've only seen a Corncrake once on Tiree but it's a birding encounter I won't forget.

In case you end up following me, my job is to help conserve one of Irelands most threatened bird species- the corncrake.
This hot mess is 100 tons of Farmyard manure planted with nettles. Looks crap (pun intended) but in spring it will be a lush patch of vegetation for these migrant birds to hide in.
