Watch this season’s nest action as it happens right now.
Let’s hope for another bumper year with lots more fledgling birds taking to our skies.👍

Almost a week has gone by and the chicks are still there! A few touch and go ‘flights’ and a couple of circuit and bumps around the close vicinity by a couple of would be fledglings but reluctance to fly the nest seems to remain. Fascinating to watch the antics of both chicks and adults at this time. When will they go, heaven knows!

6:30 am this morning and the nest is now completely empty. The storklets may visit the nest again during the day and roost there for the coming weeks though before that urge to migrate kicks in. Good season’s outcome for these parents, let’s hope the rest of the UK nesting storks have been similarly successful.👍

The chicks are taking more and more flights away from the nest now but still returning occasionally during the day and to roost. Hilarious but dangerous landing this morning which saw one chick miss the edge of the nest and take an ungainly tumble through the branches below, it could have been a very different outcome. Thankfully all was well. The clip of this event can be viewed on the webcam. One very lucky storklet.

The BBC South Today yesterday had a short clip from there and shown what they had done to get the Storks there to breed surprised to see one nest on the ground with one chick in it and others up in the trees, a interesting article and hope they get more to nest and possibly in other areas as well.
