Filmed this morning - a mother feeding her chick.
Our hand-reared birds were all marked with wing tags or leg rings before release. This adult female does not appear to have any such marking and is therefore likely to have been reared in the wild here in Wiltshire.
📢We are taking legal action against the polluters who are DESTROYING our rivers!
Thanks to @BigGive, all donations towards our campaign will be doubled – helping us raise vital funds for our fight to rescue Britain’s rivers.💪

Beaver spotted in Bristol city centre river for the first time in 500 years | ITV News West Country. As there is still no possibility that the government will licence official releases is good to see that the beavers are unbothered by stasis. https://t.co/KJRbc9uNX1
Can you help? We have just 5 days before the Big Give pledge deadline.
We are seeking at least two pledges of £100 or more to reach our minimum target.

Since its formation in 1997, the Great Bustard Group has come a long way, but not without ups and downs. @Godalming_birds interviewed the man behind the scheme and finds out how far off a self-sustaining population of British Great Bustards is: https://t.co/5y5zllgR8h
GBG located 18 nests this year. 6 have been preserved from mowing with the help of local farmers. One nest was impossible to save in situ. The 3 eggs were taken (under @NaturalEngland licence) to be hatched at @CotsWildTweets (our partners) and are being reared by the GBG.
It takes a group effort to reintroduce, protect and support Great Bustards.
Day 6 #greenmatchfund - we've hit our 5K target 🎉
