2003 Trial release

Chattering in the evening sun - August 2003

This was a key year for Operation Chough, with a trial release of choughs on the north coast of West Penwith. At the Park, our breeding birds produced a single chick, and the wild birds on The Lizard reared their second batch of three chicks.

The Operation Chough team spent many hours on the cliffs monitoring the progress of the released birds, and the data collected will play an important part in any future releases.
