English countryside. Initial stock was sourced from an egg rescue programme in southern Russia and then from Spain.
Overcoming objections and hostility, the project has undertaken the world's first reintroduction of any Bustard species and has
seen reintroductions and conservation translocations change from being regarded as unpopular fantasy to a very fashionable
mainstream activity. The Great Bustard is now firmly established in Wiltshire and is the only bird
in the UK which is classed a Globally Endangered."

MBE in 2021 for services to conservation.
