Cumbria) Alf Hi Alf, I think they are fairly well limited (in the UK) to South Wales Gower Coast, and off course they are the County bird for Cornwall. (Can you have a county bird?) On the Cornish coat of arms I believe. Mother and sibling.............  Feed me mammy by Mark Johnson, on Flickr |

Yes, they do have a limited distribution. The only other areas I know of with chough are the Isle of Man, parts of the Northern Ireland coast and the Isle of Islay. I wonder if they will spread in the same way as ravens have. Their diet is a bit more specialised than that of ravens but there are a lot of areas with abundant invertebrates.
