More White Storks doing a fly-by at Hammer Pond, Knepp Estate

Описание: It was a lovely surprise, whilst visiting the Knepp Estate this morning, to see 23 White Storks doing a fly-by, twice, whilst I was sitting at Hammer Pond. Seeing such a large number of them circling overhead is quite a sight to behold.

The White Stork Project (Knepp Estate in West Sussex) has been involved in the reintroduction of this species in the UK, which has been on-going over the last few years. This summer saw the first successful fledging in over 600 years. Whilst some of the storks have already started their migration south, these ones were recently released at Knepp (mid August) from the Cotswold Wildlife Park.

I've also spent time in a Little Owl Photography Hide on the Knepp Estate and you can view the video here:    • Little Owls - wild and free, as seen from ...
