1st May: Newbridge Storks, One has now Died

RBA reporting them as still present in the same place this morrning. Best viewed by walking west along Thames on the public footpath from the Maybush pub at Newbridge and viewing North between the 2nd and 3rd kissing gates.

John Hillsdon writes:
"The storks flew off to the south at abour 10.30., one hit the power lines and fell dead into the field. The remaining 5 returned at about 12ish, flew around for about 10 mins, the flew off south again."

Lee Evans is interested in the body of the dead bird if anyone knows who has it.

    Cheers, Sam V.
