Abstract		During 1993-1995, 30 singing Corn Crake males were recorded at nine sites in the mountains above the Upper Soča river basin. In most cases their habitats were abandoned alpine meadows and pastures at altitudes ranging from 700 to 1440 m, with an inclanation of about 25-30 degrees and predominating southern to southwestern exposure. To prevent the area becoming overgrown by shurbs and woods, late mowing or controlled burning are recommended, while grazing should not be practised.
