I went to no.3 last year to see seabirds and we heard (but didn't see) a corncrake with its highly distinctive call.

Great one: a white stork found near Klütz in 1822 with a 75 cm central African spear in its neck, 29 years after White died. Germany had about 25 such arrow storks on record by 2003. I'd go easy on "embarrassing" though. The corncrake migrates at night, and leg rings only came in 1899.

levels, Andrea Parisi (@breedingwaderseip.bsky.social ) on acoustic monitoring of Corncrake, and Juliet (CEO of BTO) to give an annual update on the work of BTO Northern Ireland.

Gilbert White's land-rail, the corncrake (1879 ed., p. 390). He doubted it migrated: its wings "are short, and placed so forward, and out of the centre of gravity, that it flies in a very heavy and embarrassed manner, with its legs hanging down."

There's a whole multimedia shadow group connected to Ed Dutton et al.: Wyflings publishes Dutton, Corncrake mag (Nathan Hood writes for them), Solstice (also Hood), Castle (Hood). There's Beowulf Foundation (online forum and hosting), Basketweavers (another mag, more openly fash, and does meet-ups)
Witan's probably their most openly fash project. Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon of Akkad), Ed Dutton, Emil Kirkegaard, Curtis Yarvin, Academic Agent, Nathan Hood (huh the guy behind Pendragon Foundation and Kingsflame!) ... and Nina Power AGAIN?

Called to Lady's Island for a couple of hours, best sight 2 Whoopers sat/sleeping in front of the Community Centre, perhaps just arrived in Ireland?? Went through the waders repeatedly, nothing unusual. 3 trips now still not found a transatlantic wader. 4 Grey Phalarope & a Corncrake my best finds.

I haven't personally, but two of my mothers work colleagues at different employers have had that effect on her. One was nicknamed the "corncrake" which I witnessed to be true.

We were delighted to welcome Aviva staff to the #LDV last week to help with our willow management work, & it was nice to discuss with the team how their support of the Corncrake project had helped in delivery, as well as enjoying exploring the contents of the moth trap & a ringing demonstration.

Recently we enjoyed an evening welcoming the Wheldrake Brownies to our new #LDV Community/Nature Recovery Hub, where they were busy learning about our local moth population and Corncrake project, before having fun with arts and crafts – great way to engage the next generation.
