2024 Stork Webcam

They are growing quickly, some fabulous interaction between the adults and chicks observed on the live webcam.

 Gosh they are growing and all four of them great to see.

3 Storks seen flying around the Dee Estuary in Wirral today. We were at Burton reserve this morning but apparently they'd already flown up the coast and returned in the afternoon so we missed seeing them.

As there is already an established nesting and roosting site at the reserve for Herons, Little and Great White Egrets there is hope that they may settle and breed.

The chicks really are growing up fast, just getting that black and white appearances as their feathers emerge. All four doing well.
There have been an increasing number birds sighted around and about the UK this Spring.  Here

Thanks mickysf and their beaks are getting bigger amazing. 

Just checked in on the nest cam. Wow, one week on and all four chicks doing fine. Nearly as big as the adults. 👍

Some very encouraging breeding news here. What a fabulous sight it must be to witness these birds riding the thermals across our skies.

Taking a look at the chicks today and they are as big as the adults (not in frame). Can’t be long until they fledge. 👍

Those kids just seem so reluctant to spread their wings and feel the air beneath. Surely today is the day!

Surprisingly they are still there, parents have reduced feeding them at the nest but still bringing liquid in. This must be to encourage the chicks to make that leap of faith.
