TWO endangered species of birds have made a nest in the La Breña and Marismas nature reserve in Barbate (Cádiz).

The bald Ibis is one of the most threatened species on the planet, and in the last few years, 96 per cent of its population has died out.

This is the second year running that the bird has nested in the area.

Last year, they made their first nest in over 500 years.

Until then, experts were unable to breed Bald Ibis in captivity to increase its population.

But now, two birds in a zoo in Jerez have produced one chick, and another two eggs are waiting to hatch.

A further 30 or so have now been released into the wild in the Sierra del Retín.

Only two other colonies of this bird exist in the world – one in Morocco of 300, and another with around a dozen in Syria.
