#Conservation success: Rare #birds make remarkable comeback
https://nation.cymru/news/conservation-success-rare-birds-make-remarkable-comeback/"Before 2020, #bitterns had previously not bred on the #GwentLevels for at least 200 years, yet officers have recently recorded four separate nests at the reserve... The #MarshHarriers originally arrived at #NewportWetlands in 2016 and the original pair raised 12 chicks between 2017 and 2022. A second pair began breeding at the reserve in 2023 and successfully fledged 3 chicks."

Back to the #GwentLevels and the #WalesCoastPath today for a #wander from #Redwick to #Caldicot. Frequent squally showers made it, mostly, a #monochome day.
