The Corncrake

Description

The first comprehensive and accessible account of the lifecycle and ecology of this fascinating bird.

Provides up-to-date information on the geographical status and habitat requirements for the continued survival of this fascinating bird.

Nesting under the cover of tall grass and undertaking annual long-distance migrations means that for most of the last hundred years the Corncrake’s detailed ecology has remained mysterious and little understood. Surprisingly, there has been no full-length book that attempts to capture all aspects of its ecology – until now.
