Did you know, white storks build nests that can last decades? Currently, storks are starting to develop their nests at @kneppwilding.bsky.social, to provide a safe haven for their chicks and support other wildlife! Read the thread to find out more and see the blog on our website (link in bio)🪺

Nest-building, bonding, and mating are in full swing for the storks at @kneppwilding.bsky.social Ania & Bartek are busy prepping their nest— working together, both birds will bring materials. Here, Bartek hauls hay from nearby stables. No eggs yet, but watch this space! #WhiteStorks #Rewilding

Big thanks to Laura Barroso & Benito Sánchez for spotting GBM7 at a landfill in Ciudad Real, Spain! This wild-hatched female from 2024 @kneppwilding.bsky.social has made it to Spain and we hope to see her again! Every sighting helps track these incredible birds—report any sightings on our website!

Spotted today at @kneppwilding.bsky.social: Storks following the pigs, taking advantage of the upturned soil which exposes a range of invertebrates to feast on! Elsewhere, these clever birds have learned to follow tractors and ploughs for foraging opportunities! 📷George Wallbridge #rewilding

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Knepp’s story of nature restoration is underpinned by science, and we have some incredible scientists in our team. We asked some of them who had inspired them and why. Read more: knepp.co.uk/2025/02/the-... #February11 #IDWGS #WomeninScience

Some heartwarming behaviour from our ground-nesting, non-flying storks. As they begin to pair up they have been seen bringing fresh nesting material and displaying to each other.🪺 Huge thanks to dedicated volunteer, Kevin, who undertakes the management of camera trap footage and analysis! 🎥

Thanks to our team of volunteers, we have observed our first few cases of white stork mating at @kneppwilding.bsky.social this year! They're a few days earlier than last year, so eggs will likely be laid early March. Keep an eye on our live camera to watch the breeding season unfold! 📷-Silla
