| 12/04/24 | White Stork | Rowsham | 1 | M Wallen |
| 11:35 | ad. What a garden bird !!!! Came in quite low from the East, I was alerted to it's presence by a calling Grey Heron. It circled around for a bit, being mobbed by Red Kites and then left to the North-East. Photo'd. A metal ring can be seen by it's foot on the right leg. I need to look at photo's for other rings. It's probably going to be a Knepp bird. But what a spectacular sight from the garden. Never has hanging out the washing filled me with so much adrenalin !! :). | |||
| 08/04/24 | White Stork | Caldecotte Lake | 1 | N Webber |
| 11:10 | Initially seen c11.10, single bird was quite low over the south lake, drifted towards the south, but then climbed significantly and flew north. Unable to tell if ringed. However, 25 minutes later, it (or another bird?) was seen in the direction of Bow Brickhill above the new warehouses, again quite low, but climbed and drifted towards the south east in the direction of Leighton Buzzard. Not something you expect when out for a walk with the grandson on his new bike! | |||

| Just got word back from Knepp about the 2 White Storks. I misread one of the rings. It was actually GB2B and not GB28 as I had believed. GB2B is actually an adult male of Polish origin which flew into overhead wires. It was rehabilitated at Cotswold Wildlife Park before being transferred to Sussex. So, in essence, a naturally wild individual rather than one of the purposefully introduced birds. Same as one of the Suffolk WTSE this winter. | ||||
| 31/03/24 | White Stork | Fulmer Lake, Fulmer | 1 | M Milne |
| 11:42 | Was looking out over the flooded field by the entrance to Low Farm, when I noticed loads of RKs and Buzzards up. Thinking that something like an Osprey etc might be in the vicinity I looked up and saw a huge, broad winged bird heading W towards us. I quickly realised it was a White Stork and my Dad and I couldn't believe it as we watched it fly over our heads, circle around the main marsh as if it was looking to land and then head W, following the A40. From the photos taken, it looked like it was a Knepp bird. | |||

| 09:19 | The two adult Knepp Park releases (GB28 and GB81) were showing well on the floods to the west of the bridge but were very mobile. The rings are blue plastic with white inscription. | |||

| 07:30 | Feeding on flood plain south of river Thame on Starveall Farm land. Both ringed on left leg but too far away for me to read numbers. | |||
