Editing Corn crake (section)

===Feeding===
The corn crake is [[omnivore|omnivorous]], but mainly feeds on [[invertebrate]]s, including [[earthworm]]s, [[slug]]s and [[snail]]s, spiders, beetles, [[dragonfly|dragonflies]], [[grasshopper]]s and other insects. In the breeding areas, it is a predator of ''[[Sitona]]'' [[weevil]]s, which infest [[legume]] crops.<ref name="taylor320" /> and in the past consumed large amounts of the former grassland pests, [[Tipuloidea|leatherjacket]]s and [[click beetle|wireworm]]s.<ref name="auk49" /> This crake will also eat small frogs and mammals, and plant material including grass seed and cereal grain. Its diet on the wintering grounds is generally similar, but includes locally available items such as [[termite]]s, [[cockroach]]es and [[dung beetle]]s. Food is taken from the ground, low-growing plants and from inside grass tussocks; the crake may search leaf litter with its bill, and run in pursuit of active prey. Hunting is normally in cover, but, particularly in the wintering areas, it will occasionally feed on grassy tracks or dirt roads.<ref name="taylor320" /> Indigestible material is regurgitated as {{convert|1|cm|in|abbr=on}} [[pellet (ornithology)|pellets]].<ref name="BWP" /> Chicks are fed mainly on animal food, and when fully grown they may fly with the parents up to {{convert|6.4|km|mi|abbr=on}} to visit supplementary feeding areas. As with other rails, grit is swallowed to help break up food in the stomach.<ref name="taylor320" /><ref name="taylor39" />
