Bustards nest found in Cranborne Chase for first time

Two great bustard nests were spotted in a field of crops in Cranborne Chase last year.

Great bustard nests have been found for the first time on Cranborne Chase.

This week, Cranborne Chase Landscape Trust confirmed that bustard chicks had been found in the designated National Landscape last May.

The bustard - the world’s heaviest flying bird - was hunted to extinction in the 19th century, but the species was secretly reintroduced to Wiltshire in 1998 using chicks from Russia.

Just wanted to say I really appreciate you posting this stuff — I don’t often have much comment to make, but I showed this news to my dad (as we live in the West Country and he’s an avid birdwatcher) and he was very pleased :)
