Storking Horse?

The White Stork Working Group is considering options for reintroducing this 'majestic' bird to Greater London (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jul/05/rewilding-plan-aims-to-bring-majestic-white-storks-to-london). Wetland restorations across Greater London have greatly increased feeding locations for the White Stork. There's a possibility that these large, migratory birds can be encouraged to nest on some prominent buildings. It might, however, be an idea to keep White storks from well away from any airports. Collisions would endanger both birds and pilots. Migration times would have to be monitored.
