So far, it appears not to have re-established itself but dozens of local farmers are now using bee-friendly methods that have seen other rare bumblebee species increase in the area.Ī species only found at northerly latitudes, with a more pointed head and longer legs than the common frog, it became extinct in Britain in 1995. This bumblebee became extinct in 1988 and specimens from Sweden were returned to land around Dungeness, Kent, in 2011. It took several decades to re-establish but the world’s biggest population now flies in Somerset and Gloucestershire. This butterfly fell extinct in 1979 but was reintroduced with caterpillars from Sweden. Scientific studies have shown its dams are habitat for fish, amphibians, invertebrates and birds, while also storing floodwater and filtering pollutants.Īlthough the historical evidence for storks being regular breeding birds in Britain is debated, wild birds have been introduced on the Knepp Estate, West Sussex, breeding successfully for the first time this summer. But unofficial releases on the River Tay in Scotland and the River Otter in Devon have seen the animal multiply.

Their population increased very slowly at first but there are now 123 breeding pairs, and has inspired lucrative ecotourism on the island of Mull.Īfter being successfully returned to dozens of European countries, an official trial began in Knapdale, Scotland. Birds were reintroduced to the Highlands from Norway 45 years ago. The last British “sea eagle” was shot in 1918.
