It has been a bumper breeding season for the Cornish chough and wildlife experts are delighted.It was feared the wet spring would make life tough for the inexperienced pairs, but 108 choughlets are known to have fledged successfully.
Hilary Mitchell, from the conservation charity Cornwall Birds, said: "It's been another amazing year for our chough. "Our hardy birds carried on despite the rain and still fledged over 100 chicks, an impressive result. But there is a need for more volunteers for next season, said Andrew Jones, Chough Conservation Officer for the RSPB in Cornwall.
