Common Crane
Grus grus
The first Severnside record involved 2 birds over Severn Beach in January 2000 with a total of 15 records, 26 birds an the biggest group of 4 by the end of 2025. The records up to 2016 were of wild birds but some the records since then may have involved reintroduced birds. Now almost annual with all but 2 birds by the end of 2025 being flyover records.
