It's in that book alright - an interesting collection, BTW. He gives "Tom Moore" as the author (his quotes) implying it's a pseudonym. I should know who it was, having lived a few miles away for many years - but the name won't come to me. Brendan Shine had a big hit with it many years ago.

p.s. I used to chase corncrakes in that area at one stage!
