I was sent this link today and would LOVE to see them myself - not impossible as I'm not too far from where they have been re-introduced.

Isn't that photo something special?

Yes it's quite something isn't it!  I think this is a real 'good news' story and I've been looking forward to it for some time.

They raised the chicks at Slimbridge so there is a strong west/south-west connection to these lovely birds.  More information on The Great Crane Project here
