Corncrakes

[Pans Lass]

As far as I know there have been some heard out your way. I'm sure lizzie will know


Just asked her Jeanette and she said she always heard them out in the corn fields when she was a wee lassie playing at Machrihanish but its been years since she heard them. She attempted to try make their sound over the phone but she was well out of tune I think ..I do hope thats not what a corncrake sounds like.

unmistakable croak off them....last time i was in Tiree i could have throttled the one ootside the winda for the noise it was makin....that is if i could see the bugger.

Loads of them there & their like the holy grail....mind you they are cos the crofters get good money for them, i think Tiree is one of the best populations in the country for them rite now. you canna see them but you can hear them...a bit like the general on here!
