The Great Bustard was once on the verge of extinction, but the population is slowly recovering. The effort involved was enormous. You can learn about this and much more about the bird world at this place.

The great bustard is a truly special creature. Here you can learn a lot about them and, with a bit of luck, even observe some. I was surprised that almost 50 km of power lines were laid underground because of the bustard, but within sight, a huge concrete factory for wind turbines was built.
