A record total of 55 pairs of Chough attempted to breed in Cornwall this year.

The red-billed corvid began to recolonise Cornwall in 2001 after 28 years of absence from the county. The 2024 breeding season was the best yet, with a record number of breeding pairs and a total of 108 young known to have successfully fledged. This follows an expansion in the range of Chough in Cornwall, with birds now readily found in inland areas.
