Observation details
From John Scully, "I obtained only a single specimen of the Corncrake at Gilgit, on the 8th October; the bird was found on a small watercourse which ran by the side of a field of Indian corn. The species was never observed on any other occasion. My example, a female, measured - length 10 inches, wing 5.4, tail 2.25, tarsus 1.5, middle toe and claw 1.5, bill from gape 1; the bill was flesh-coloured, grey at the tip; irides brown; feet drab, claws pale brown. The specimen agrees perfectly in plumage with English examples with which I have compared it".
