Re: Black Stork

Hi Kevin

Are you sure they were storks?

There are two escaped/feral black swans hanging around Shapwick Heath lately which are long-necked, black and white-winged in flight.

Re: Black Stork

Yes fairly sure. White was on body not on wings, and long reddish bill not swan like. Legs out the back and not the dumpy swan body. Used to work in Australia so familiar with black swans.
