BirdLife Austria: After 70 Years, the Little Crake Breeds Again in Burgenland

The Little Crake lives very secretively and is one of the most endangered species in Europe. An ornithologist provided evidence of their breeding, as BirdLife Austria announced on Monday.

Little Crake benefit from backwater measures

The Little Crake inhabits wet meadows densely covered with low marsh vegetation with very shallow water levels. Due to the difficult-to-access habitat, they are extremely hard to detect. The backwater measures already partially implemented in the national park to raise the groundwater level certainly benefit the Little Crake and other species, it was stated.
