Storks at Knepp Castle

 Storks at Knepp Castle

After an absence of 600 years, in 2019 the first storks returned to UK at Knepp Castle. Now there are 24 nests with 27 chicks and 48 eggs yet to hatch at the last count. There is a history of storks in the area as nearby Storrington used to be called Storkington.
