The real treat of Tom's Beddington Farmlands trip today, was the white stork currently inhabiting the northern 'wet grassland' area. The stork, 'called' GB35, was introduced to the UK via the White Stork Project, that saw the first white storks breeding in the UK this summer. This individual has been in the UK for two years now, although originally from Poland, and is expected to reach breeding age in the following two years. It was fantastic to see one of the 'original' reintroduced storks and such a fantastic bird so close.
