Many will know I have numerous concerns about the operations at Oldbury (click label below for more info) - but here is some good news - the largest flying bird in the world has moved into the grounds of a nuclear power station. A female great bustard, a species once extinct in Britain, was spotted yesterday at Oldbury Power Station, South Gloucs - and already it’s been nicknamed Nuke.
The birds, weighing up to 20kg, are being re-introduced to the UK by the Great Bustard Group, based at Salisbury Plain. Apparently Great bustards became extinct in Britain in the 1840s due to overhunting.
