Corncrakes on Oronsay - nettles as early cover

Corncrakes are a rare and noisy visitor to the UK. The Island of Oronsay off Scotland's west coast is one of the best places to hear - and if you're lucky see - them. RSPB Scotland manages the reserve to make it as good for corncrakes as possible and part of that is encouraging big patches of nettles. Find out why from Hannah Sharratt from the reserve team in this video.
