Great Orme even easier and closer tbh.

I will beg my parents to drag us three kids there in the car.

A trip up to the top should get them fairly quickly and then you can get back to the ice cream and beach 😉.

Alas... no icecream my mum is, in the best way possible, a germphobic- and she doubts they clean their icecream machines or wash their hands, which is reasonable. Aaannyhooo, this is getting off topic, but I'm still quite glad their being introduced, we don't want them going extinct in the British Isles.

Your mum needs to learn about building immune systems. And buy icecream!

I was beaten to naming and giving the example of Cirl Bunting, a species now restricted to and "managed" to some suitable coastal valleys yet it was a breeding native species in many Southern and Home counties..... I too would rather see funds channelled into habitat aquirement but the bigger picture is far more important. Good luck to the scheme though.
Interesting footnote in that the Cornish reintroduction failed, how come?

It did. The reintroduction project failed. The choughs in Cornwall colonised by themselves.
