A plan is being considered to reintroduce the largest bird to have ever lived in Britain.

The Dalmatian pelican lived in Britain thousands of years ago, but was driven to extinction during medieval times.

Nature restoration company RESTORE said it has been conducting studies to explore whether the bird could be reintroduced to British wetland landscapes including sites across the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, Essex marshes and the Somerset Levels.
