Traditional local farming practices have helped this once common British bird survive.

"If we want to see birds not only survive here but thrive, we've got to give them space," he said.

The birds would not in any case have survived such a journey if they refused to eat anything but seeds.

In the area where 1080 was used, all 20 birds survived that season.

The bird may have survived in eastern lowlands until the 1670s.
