corncrake definition and meaning

What is a "corncrake"?

A corncrake is a secretive and elusive bird known for its distinctive rasping call that resonates across meadows and grasslands. Found primarily in Europe and Asia, this medium-sized bird possesses a streaked brown plumage that helps it blend seamlessly into its grassy habitat. Corncrakes are known for their strong legs and short wings, which make them more adept at running through dense vegetation than flying. They are primarily active during the breeding season when the males emit their characteristic "crex-crex" call to attract mates and establish territories. Due to their shy nature and cryptic plumage, spotting a corncrake can be a challenge, but their unmistakable call provides an audible presence in their chosen habitats.
