White Stork Nest Camera

The White Stork Project is a partnership between private land owners and nature conservation organisations and work together to bring White Storks back to South East England for the first time in several hundred years. White Storks are a migratory bird species native to the UK , but failed to survive here, likely due to a combination of habitat loss, over-hunting, and targeted persecution.
