Corncrake North Uist

[kinley]

RSPB have a great wee visitor centre with a garden thick with vegetation. Corncrake popped up right in front of the car!

Excellent photos. I've never seen one yet, but many a time I've been kept awake at night by them when up that way, I don't think they ever go to sleep.

I'm going to Harris in August, anyone know of any corncrake hotspots there?

[Paul Webster]

I don't know how you do it!!!

Scrap that, I think I know, North Uist IS the corncrake hotspot in the Harris vicinity

Superb photos I've heard them but not seen them in the Borve and Scarasta areas.

Great pics you really do get the bets ones. I got a corncrake on Skye last year but I only managed a photo of its bum and everyone laughs when I say it is a corncrake. What do you use to get such fab wildlife pics KInley?
