Storks Breeding in Sussex
« on: 12:43:48, 17/05/20 »

I see that storks have bred in Sussex this year.  Could be worth a discrete walk.

This raises 2 questions.
If storks bring babies, what brings stork eggs?

I am waiting with bated breath to find out.  ;)

Maybe the rangers had baby breath?


With the current abuse of statistics in the media, perhaps we could reignite the storks and babies link?
