Corn Crake (Crex crex)
Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)
About half the size of Partridge with brownish plumage, bluish grey supercilium and breast sides. Flanks barred in white, back heavily streaked. Rufous wings obvious in flight. Seldom seen due to secretive behaviour, but song very noticeable.
Sound:Characteristic song can be heard at night. A rasping, hoarse "crex-crex" repeated about every second for long periods of time.

Large, long-tailed eagle. Juveniles unmistakable, with white base of tail, dark terminal band and base of flight-feathers forming a white wing panel. Adult: dark brown with golden tinge to head. Variable amount of white wing panels and base of tail in intermediate plumages. Differs from other eagles by; wings held in shallow V when soaring, narrow wing base, flight feathers paler than coverts and body. Flight pattern elegant with a handful deep beats and typical alternate glides.
Sound:Not very vocal. A short, clear, yelping "kew". Sometimes in series in mellow tempo. Also mewing, Buzzard-like calls.
