I enjoy seeing those huge nests, though Storks are rare in Britain, having only just been reintroduced after hundreds of years. So far, I have only seen them in foreign countries.
Best wishes, Pete.

No storks here for over 600 years, Beth!

Pete, only some 12-15′ from our home, we have 2 stork nests and they are ‘at it’ already some time – there are new babies every year and all the walks at the small lake have this additional joyful event to watch when families, kids and walkers, bikers are on their tours.

What a great quote! Hard to imagine spring is on its way when the temps are so low… (12F, feels like 0F). But I know it is just round the corner…. or maybe the other one.
