The chough, a charismatic cliff-dwelling corvid, has bred in Kent for the first time in two centuries.

A young pair among eight birds released last year defied expectations to successfully breed this summer, making a nest on Dover Castle and rearing one chick, which fledged in June.

The milestone is an unexpectedly early success for the long-term project to bring the red-billed birds back to the Kent coastline.
