Conservation charities have successfully completed the second round of rewilding of a long-lost bird breed in Dover.

The red-billed chough disappeared from the Kent countryside more than 200 years ago due to habitat loss and persecution.

In 2023, the first cohort of eight birds were returned to the area by conservation charities Wildwood Trust, Kent Wildlife Trust and Cornwall's Paradise Park.

Now a further 11 birds have been raised in captivity and released near Dover.
