An Traonach

An Traonach

Ar maidin agus déanach san oíche is mó a chloistear traonaigh in Éirinn, ach tá
titim ghéar tagtha ar an éan seo nach bhfeictear go rialta le 50 bliain anuas. Toisc go mbíonn siad ag neadú ar an talamh, tá baol do thraonaigh ó innealra feirme. Le cleachtais feirmeoireachta ag athrú, tá todhchaí níos fearr ag traonaigh.


Corncrake


Corncrakes were commonly heard early morning and late at night in
Ireland, but this rarely seen bird has suffered huge declines over the past 50 years. Nesting on the ground, corncrakes are vulnerable to farm machinery. With changing farming practices, the corncrake has a brighter future.
