News at Eleven: Populations of the bird, which has been
an inspiration for generations of poets and romantics, have crashed by more than 90 per cent in the last 40 years.
According to a study by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), the species is on course to vanish completely from the UK.
The findings mean the bird will be upgraded to "red status"--signifying the highest possible degree of conservation concern.
