First "stork village" in UK

May 2025

Storks are beautiful birds with white feathers and bright red-orange beaks. However, you probably haven't spotted one in the wild in the UK as they went extinct here over 600 years ago.

First "stork village" in UK

Now, thanks to a special conservation project, storks are making a comeback to the British countryside. The White Stork Project began in 2016 when a group of storks that could no longer fly were brought from Poland to Knepp Estate in Sussex. They were kept in a large, protected enclosure with a pond, clean water, meadows and plenty of insects to eat.
