Dear Jessica,
For a summary of published records of bustard in England, please see:
Albarella U. and Thomas R. 2002. They dined on crane: bird consumption, wild
fowling and status in medieval England. Acta Zoologica Cracoviensa, 45
(special issue), 23-38.
Let me know if you would like a copy of the paper.
Do you know that the species has recently been reintroduced to England?
Cheers,
Umberto
