Скачать или смотреть Choughs breed in Kent for the first time in 200 years!

Once extinct in Kent, there are clear signs that red-billed chough will once again thrive in the South East following the hatching of the first wild chick for generations. The nest was discovered at Dover Castle (which is in the care of English Heritage) in May - just a year after the first choughs were reintroduced to the Kent skyline. The chick fledged successfully in June but unfortunately went missing during strong winds and hasn’t been seen since early July. Despite the setback, conservationists behind the project have hailed its birth a ‘monumental milestone’ for the project.

The surprise arrival came just weeks before the start of the second season of releases by award-winning conservation collaborators Wildwood Trust, Kent Wildlife Trust and Paradise Park. The team have worked tirelessly to return the charismatic corvid to the Kent skyline after a 200-year absence!
