I keep an old Peterson in office c. 1980. In it Corn Crake is shown on same page (114-115) listed with "short-billed rails" including Sora, black rail, and yellow rail.

Hi Brian and all, Corn Crake is in fact depicted in that book, but on page 110-111, with Quail and Button-quail, confusingly a few pages prior to the Rallids. It is also depicted in the National Geo Guide, and, interestingly, in the old Peterson guide (and very nicely at that). Its presence in the last is testament to its pattern of more frequent occurrence long ago, prior to its population declines in Europe.

What field guide is this bird in? I lugged my Svennson Birds of Europe guide with me to work and there's no sign of Crex crex in it.
