this is great news for Choughs as it looks like the numbers are increasing so they need to spread into new territories

Not a bird I am likely to see as I live in the wrong area but they are quite magnificent aren't they and it is good to hear that their numbers are increasing. I think it's wonderful when any species of animal makes a come back.
