Crane Safaris and other events ›A wetland icon returns to Southwest England.Between 2010 and 2014, 93 common cranes were hand-reared to release onto the Somerset Levels and Moors - doubling the UK population, and helping to secure the future of the crane in the UK.

Cranes are beautiful birds. Their trumpeting calls sound astonishing -
and they have a courtship dance that has to be seen to be believed.

Before hunting and the draining of our wetlands wiped them out, cranes were plentiful and widespreadin the UK.

Cranes made a natural return to the UK in the late 1970's with the first fledged chick for 400yrs being produced in the Norfolk Broads in 1982. With a lot of conservation effort the population has grown and spread over the last 30 years with small numbers of cranes now also regulalry breeding in Cambridgshire, Suffolk, Yorkshire and North East Scotland.

The Great Crane Project will continue to monitor and protect the released birds, and ensure suitable habitat is maintained and created to help re-establish former numbers in wetlands throughoutthe UK.
