More pairs of the red-listed Lapwings have bred at the farm and successfully fledged nine chicks.

A farm is celebrating a record number of breeding pairs of lapwings, a bird red-listed as being of conservation concern in the UK.

The birds first began nesting at Lark Rise, a 400-acre arable farm, near Barton and Comberton in Cambridgeshire in 2018.

The farm is managed by the Countryside Regeneration Trust (CRT), a Cambridgeshire-based national charity promoting nature-friendly farming.

It said five breeding pairs arrived at Lark Hill this year, which was two more than 2023, and they managed to successfully fledge nine chicks.
