Presented by Simon McLaughlin
Each spring, the corncrake flies 4,000 miles from the Congo Basin to Scotland’s Hebrides—one of the last places it can still be heard calling through the night. But threats to the machair grasslands, which sustain corncrake flocks, could imperil the species. Expedition Leader Simon McLaughlin explores this remarkable migration as he discusses how conservationists and crofters (farmers who work small plots called crofts) are teaming up to conserve vital grasslands and protect the corncrake while safeguarding Scotland’s ancient agricultural traditions.
