BirdWatch Ireland, without which the corncrake would probably be extinct already in this country, says that corncrakes are now restricted to three core areas in Ireland - the Shannon Callows, north Donegal and Co Mayo.
BirdWatch Ireland is slightly encouraged by the fact that numbers there have remained stable at 22 calling males this year.
However, habitat management work by BirdWatch Ireland is producing its own rewards, with corncrakes now turning up in Termoncarragh, Co Mayo, where the organisation manages land for corncrakes and other endangered species in a project supported by the EU LIFE-Nature Fund.

A growing number of schemes are being set up worldwide that allow any birdwatcher with internet access, from professional ornithologists to the most casual of observers, to report and log their sightings.
BirdWatch Ireland, together with the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) in the UK, set up such a scheme three years ago.
For the first time, birdwatchers were provided with the opportunity to store summaries of their own personal records online, and they, along with visitors to the scheme's website, were able instantly to observe both the spring arrival dates and the general migration patterns of each species.
