With the support of National Parks and Wildlife Service we have secured one of Irelands most important corncrake breeding sites in Co. Mayo. The entire 20 acre site is now managed in cooperation with our neighbors and is fortified with a predator control fence. npws.ie/news/minister-…

Beautiful nettle bed installation Belmullet Tidy Towns Feirm an Bhaile commissioned in partnership with Corncrake/Traonach LIFE a few years ago. Urban meadow close by is full of native flower species. Great for urban pollinators and symbolic of corncrake/Great YBB habitat on the pennisula.

Some awesome images from one of our trail cameras. Corncrakes are notoriously shy birds so we are pretty sure this one was show-boating.😁 Early indications suggest an excellent year for the Irish population- great news in our last season as a project 🙏 National Parks and Wildlife Service

Well, well, well....look at this handsome chap on our camera.

Just a few images from our amazing evening on Inis Bó finne in Co. Donegal. A chorus of 26 corncrakes and the local community welcomed the 60 visitors for our inaugural corncrake tour. Bhí sé iontach.

Great to see this young corncrake at one of our sites. At 25-30 days old it is only 2 weeks away from being fledged and will then depart for Africa. Female corncrakes are now on their second clutch and it's vital that they produce fledged young to sustain the population.

When pheasants are in your ELC and you have to get them out:

Well, hello there.

One of rarest breeding birds in Europe. Just chillin' 😊

Great to see a young corncrake like this! Still some growing to do. This bird will be fully feathered in about 2 weeks and will then head off to West Africa (5000km). Let's hope it makes the journey and gets home to Ireland next April.

Stretchy stretchy! Morning Yoga for this young crake. Second brood will be hatched now and moving about. Only a few weeks to go but 2025 has been kind to our Crex.

Three fluff nuggets. Glorious.
