BREAKING NEWS - History has just been made
For the first time in the UK since 1832, the Great Bustard has nested here with females successfully hatching chicks. During May a female was obserbed incubating a clutch of eggs. A few days later they hatched and two chicks were seen following their mother and being fed. A day later another female was seen feeding a chick.
This is a big one - the milestone the team has been working towards for years. The world's heaviest bird is back in the UK where it belongs. 177 years on, but worth the wait. |
