flag Great cranes return to Britain after 400 years of extinction.

flag Britain’s tallest bird, the great crane, continues its remarkable recovery after being extinct in the UK for 400 years due to hunting and habitat loss. flag Natural recolonization from Europe and conservation efforts by groups like the RSPB and WWT have helped restore populations, which now number around 250 birds. flag With at least 80% breeding on protected sites, the comeback is credited to habitat creation and reduced human disturbance, though experts stress that continued protection of connected wetlands is vital for long-term survival.
