It has been a bumper breeding season for the Cornish chough and wildlife experts are delighted.

A record 55 pairs of choughs made an attempt at breeding this summer.

It was feared the wet spring would make life tough for the inexperienced pairs, but 108 choughlets are known to have fledged successfully.

With all the doom and gloom going on, it's great to hear some good news. Choughs, Egrets, Herons and Sea Eagles in the last week alone!
