Operation Chough Webcam

The Operation Chough webcam is back for the 2026 season!

After many, many months of rain spring is finally on the way in Cornwall – and birds are starting to carry twigs and nesting materials. Our breeding choughs have now been moved into secluded aviaries and are starting the new breeding season.

This year we have six breeding pairs. There are five pairs in our seclusion aviaries, and one pair in our original chough breeding aviary in the public area of the park.

KENT RE-INTRODUCTION PROJECT
Chicks bred this year will be supplementing the growing flock of released choughs in Kent as part of the ongoing Chough Re-instroduction Program.

With thanks to our partners at Kent Wildlife Trust and Wildwood Trust who raised funds so that we could increase the number of aviaries in 2024 available for chough breeding.

JERSEY RE-INTRODUCTION PROJECT
For news on the reintroduction of the species in Jersey, where choughs bred here at Paradise Park are now living free after an absence of 100 years, go to the ‘Returning the red-billed chough to Jersey‘ page. There are now about 60 choughs flying free in Jersey, most of them having fledged in the wild with thanks to our partners at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
