One of Britain’s rarest – and strangest – birds is back at Stonehenge again. The Great Bustard was affectionately christened by Stonehenge staff as “Gertrude”.
The Great Bustard (latin name Otis tarda) is a large bird that is on the 'Red List' of endangered species of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, with European populations being in long term decline.
