WORTHING: 7 White Storks of unknown origin were seen thermaling over Stone Lane and were lingering for a while until moving purposley east at 11.43 towards Broadwater. Very likely to be birds from the Knepp estate re-introduction scheme but with all White Stork sightings these days we will never know NB/NO 
Also a single Willow Warbler spent the morning in my garden in Rogate Road NB
