Hi again - random bits of happiness

  • common cranes were virtually extinct in Britain by 1600 but thanks to "The Great Crane Project" four birds have returned to southern England and have started nesting there -  "they were reared from eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust's Slimbridge centre in 2010 by "crane mums", who dressed as adult cranes to teach the youngsters how to survive in the wild, and were then released on the Somerset levels"

Common cranes build first nests in England for centuries
