Hi Eamonn and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

I don't know what you heard, I'm afraid, but I'd have thought Corncrake was rather unlikely, as they're all in the Hebrides or Ireland at the moment.

Hi Eamonn and welcome to Birdforum. I vaguely recollect one turning up a year or two ago somewhere inland in England.

Hi delia - my uncle who is 90 and lives in kilkenny southern Ireland seen lots of them when younger. He is a farmer but I heard one about a year ago on Remenham near Henley they have been seen in nearby Hurst Berkshire but the call I heard in Ryehurst lane was a corn crake it was in meadow and the call is significantly different to other birds
