CLOUGH // PYRRHOCORAX PYRRHOCORAX (39cm)
CLOUGH is easily recognized by its long red, down-curved bill. It is found only on the coast of Wales. They are trying to reintroduce them here in Kent, near Dover, as the habitat is very suitable. Many hand-bred youngsters have been successfully released. One pair has nested in part of Dover Castle but was unsuccessful. Overall, the project looks good, as the Chough is a red-listed bird.
This one was spotted and captured on Skomer Island.

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, enjoy your day.
God bless ........Tomx
