He: The crane returned after 400 years

In the swamps of eastern England, for the first time in 400 years, the cranes returned to live and reproduce. According to the Royal Bird Protection Association (RSPB), this long-necked bird disappeared from East Anglia after many of the swamps were drained to make agricultural land in the 1600s.

11 years ago, the RSPB decided to transform a carrot field into Lakenheath Fen Nature Reserve and bring many cranes here.

'The presence of the crane at Lakenheath Fen is a good news about the future of this animal in England. That is also evidence of the success of turning carrot fields into crane fields after 11 years, 'said Graham Wynne, president of RSPB.

Every year, a small number of cranes visit eastern and southern England as they migrate from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. However, the fact that this species breeds in East Anglia is a surprising discovery.

The RSPB intends to establish a 51-square-kilometer swamp in this area in the next 20 years to serve as a breeding ground for cranes.

General information about cranes:

- Wingspan: 180-240 cm
