Connecting people with nature & wilding the UK are two topics that have dominated the wildlife news for years & one way we can talk about both those things, is by having a chat about white storks coming back to England after years of absence.

Joining me to chat all about these impressive & much loved birds, is the project officer at The White Stork Project, Lucy Groves. Lucy explains to me the power these animals have as not only part of a wider ecosystem, but a way to draw people in to caring & wanting to protect the UK's biodiversity. Lucy all shares with us the future plans of the project & what we can expect from the next few years.
