Corncrake/Traonach LIFE@CorncrakeLife · Jun 9

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 🙏 @NPWSIreland
