Announced a couple of days ago this would be a storking good idea I think. Wildlife reintroduction in such a busy UK urban environment is good, they live quite happily alongside ‘us’ in other similar places in Europe.

    Not sure a capital city is the right environment for them myself. The ones we've seen abroad all tend to have access to farm land, on the edge of a village or small town. Plus it's less disruptive for them. As well as that, the locals in France and Germany where I have seen them consider the Stork to be a bringer of good fortune to their community. I would think that Londoners might have a problem in getting their heads around this introduction and I can foresee the Storks having a rough time of it.
