https://www.vogelwarte.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/1700_1.jpg16001200The Baillon’s Crake is a very secretive bird – even when it is alarmed, it quietly scurries through thick sedge making it almost impossible to catch sight of it. The acoustic identification is also difficult because the wooden rattling call of the Baillon’s Crake carries only a short distance and resembles the call of water frogs.
