Corncrake birds lived in Shetland for thousands of years, nesting in cornfields. However, they have nearly disappered from the islands for over thirty years. People had come to use imported food and animal fodder, so farmers stopped growing oats and barley, and the corncrake’s habitat vanished. Trade & Industry gallery NAT 2007.22
