Cornwall Chough Project
Choughs - members of the crow family with striking red legs and curved, red beaks - are found on the Atlantic coastal fringe of the UK. Currently, there are thought to be around 500 pairs of the birds, mostly in Wales and on some of the western Scottish islands such as Islay. They are also present on the Isle of Man and in Ireland and Brittany. There are only two breeding pairs in England, both found in Cornwall. Follow the links to the left and below to find out more about these fascinating birds, their history in the county and how you can see them for yourself.
