		The Rails and Crakes are a group of small birds mainly associated with wetlands, although the Corncrake [?] breeds on farmland.
		Traditionally the rails and crakes in the order Rallidae have been grouped with two families of large birds, the cranes and the bustards in the order Gruiformes.
		The ratites and tinamous will now be followed by the ducks and their allies, and then the rails and crakes.

		Which brings me to the Little Crake, which may or may not be a resident species in Iraq.
		The species definitely uses Iraqi waterways as a stopover during migration, but crakes, like many of the marsh-dwelling members of the Rallidae, tend towards the shy end of the scale.
		In other words, you're damn lucky to see one, though the species' entry at wikipedia claims that they are somewhat easier to spot during migration.

		Indeed, two species of crakes — the Baillon’s crake and the Little crake — may actually breed in the Delta, but they are so hard to find that there are no recent records.
		The Little, Baillon’s and Spotted crake are fairly similar: They all have browner upper parts variably spotted, and the last two species also have blue-gray under parts with barring on the belly and vent.
		But back to the crakes: I have yet to see a Baillon’s crake, the smallest of these crakes, in the wild, though once I was shown a dead one by my next-door neighbors.

		Crakes, especially juveniles, have previously been very difficult to identify but it is now recognised that the excessively long wings of a Little Crake will separate it from all the other European species.
		Other useful features are the green legs, the red base to the bill of adult birds and the white face and throat of females and juveniles.
		Look out too for the broad pale creamy stripe along the inner edge of each set of tertials as this is much more obvious than on other crakes.
