Corncrake (Crex crex) Traonach
There are two places you are likely to hear them in Mayo: The first is on the Mullet peninsula, especially Carne Hill (near Erris FC football pitch), around Termoncarragh Lake (beside the graveyard and over the hill towards the ruin of Glebe House, where BWI own several meadows) and at the southern tip in and around the villages of Fallmore and Surgeview. The second place you are likely to hear them is in the southwest Mayo coast area, west of Louisburgh, near Roonagh Quay (at the road junction near the post office at Aghany and at the Accony crossroads, 1km east of Aghany). Park near the pier and walk back up the road 100-200 metres. In 2008, 20 calling (male) Corncrakes were found on the Mullet and a further six in the area near Roonagh.
