Rare Bird Seen by Power Station
A Great Bustard - once thought extinct in the UK - has been spotted
near a power station in South Gloucestershire.
The sighting was made by the Dursley bird watching group at Oldbury
Power Station. The group keeps a record of which birds visits the site.
It is thought the bird might be one of a group introduced to Salisbury
Plain, Wiltshire, from Russia by the Great Bustard Group (GBG) in 2004.
The Great Bustard was wiped out in England in the 19th Century.
