Storks are building a nest at Thrigby Hall in Norfolk.
The white storks, part of the collection at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens in Filby, near Great Yarmouth, could be the first pair to successfully breed in the UK for hundreds of years. The white stork breeds mainly in continental Europe, migrating to Africa
in winter. The distinctive birds nest close to human habitation, often creating their nests on chimneys, rooftops or telegraph poles, but this is only the third time in 600 years they have been recorded nesting in this traditional way in the UK. Hopefully
will go there tomorrow and try to get some photos.
