Description
This is a very rare bird that can be 50lbs in weight and there is a conservation and re-introduction of this species in Salisbury plain in Wiltshire near where I live. this wonderful bird was last seen when Queen Victoria was a child!
The species suffered a huge decline in numbers in the 17th and 18th Centuries as a result of changing farming practices and hunting, and has only been an occasional visitor to this country since the 1840s.
It has also seen populations fall worldwide and globally is considered vulnerable to extinction.
