Kent: First wild chough chick in 200 years bred at Dover missing (www.bbc.co.uk)

The first wild red-billed chough chick to be born in Kent for more than 200 years has not been seen for a month after going missing in strong winds.

Wild red-billed choughs had not been spotted in the county for two centuries, which Kent Wildlife Trust says is because of habitat loss and historic persecution.

A 40-year project by the trust to restore chalk grassland and create a suitable habitat around Dover Castle allowed several of the birds to be introduced into the area last year.
