Celebrating World Wetlands Day with incredible news! 🎉 Numbers of the UK’s tallest bird, the Common Crane, soared to new heights in 2023 with a record-breaking 80 pairs confirmed, with 36 known to have fledged. Since being driven to extinction in the 16th century the population is now at its highest level since the species returned in 1979. Conservation success!
