Two breeding pairs of the red-listed bird have been spotted at Lecale Fens in County Down.
An endangered bird has returned to a County Down bog thanks to conservation efforts.
The bird requires a range of habitats to breed, preferring boggy open areas with bare ground or short vegetation, avoiding areas of dense cover.Since 2018, Ulster Wildlife has been working with specialist contractors and the farmer to eliminate invasive species and scrub, such as rhododendron, from Lecale Fens, using amphibious machinery.
"Five years later and we're thrilled to see our restoration efforts reap rewards for biodiversity, with Lecale Fens moving towards a healthy condition again."Amphibious machinery has been used to eliminate invasive species and scrub
