	Corn Crake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Corn Crake (Crex crex) is a small bird in the family Rallidae.
		Their breeding habitat is not marshes like most crakes, but, as the name implies, meadows and arable farmland.
		Corn Crakes are very secretive in the breeding season, and are then mostly heard far more often than they are seen.

		This alarming estimation served as a trigger for the development of a special 'Corn crake' Project, which was started in 1994 by the International Organization 'Birdlife' with financial support of the UK Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
		The territories suitable for the corn crake's habitat significantly reduced and the life conditions in the remaining areas deteriorated.
		By the end of the 70s the number of corn crakes in some areas decreased almost by half, corn crakes became rare in some other areas and by the end of the century the species was registered in some regional Red Books.

	British Ornithologists Union: Conference Report Climate Change and Coastal Birds
		Research by the RSPB into the nationally endangered Stone-curlew Burhinus oedicnemus, Corn Crake Crex crex and Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus had all shown encouraging population increases.
		Ian Newton set the scene for the weekend by describing the declines in farmland birds as ‘one of the major conservation problems of our age' (Newton 2004) and over the last 15-20 years the British ornithological research community has put a great deal of effort into addressing this problem.
		They have included now rare species that have undergone sustained post-war declines (Corn Crake, Stone-curlew, Cirl Bunting), but perhaps more worryingly, the BTO's large-scale survey data and in particular the Common Birds Census have shown that common species have also declined in population, sometimes quite severely.
