A common crane chick has hatched for the first time in three years at a wetland centre.

It is just the second to hatch to its parents, who have been at WWT Washington Wetland Centre, near Sunderland, since 2008.

The adult pair were originally hatched in the Netherlands and moved to Washington in the early stages of the Great Crane Project, which has seen the bird successfully integrated to the UK.
