In addition to each of our partner museums’ individual exhibitions and events, we are developing exciting joint programmes that unite the museums and reach out to more diverse audiences.
Males great bustards perform spectacular courtship displays, gathering at a ‘lek’ or small display ground to try to impress the females.
The great bustard has a dignified slow walk but tends to run when disturbed, rather than fly.
The hen-bird on display at The Salisbury Museum was one of the last great bustards to be eaten in the town!
