A leading British wildlife conservation charity has given an exciting glimpse of its first clutch of red-billed chough eggs from this year’s breeding season.

The exclusive video, captured on a nest cam at Wildwood Trust, just outside Canterbury, shows five eggs in a nest, under the watchful eye of parents Cordelia and Clive.

The breeding pair are part of a ground-breaking project between award-winning conservation collaborators Wildwood Trust, Kent Wildlife Trust and Paradise Park, which aims to return the red-billed chough to Kent after a 200-year absence.

The latest clutch of eggs follows the successful breeding and release of chough in the county last year. The eight birds currently flying free over Dover are the first in a series of annual releases to establish a breeding population of chough in Kent.
