“When these storks come back they need food on the landscape in order to thrive,” Swiderski explained. <\/p>\n
“They need insects, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians – earthworms they eat as well, so if we can do all those things then the storks can do really well.”<\/p>\n
In order to help their habitats, he is also carrying out a separate project to reintroduce beavers to the whole of Cornwall. <\/p>\n
Beavers, he said, create “amazing wetlands” full of “all those creatures”.<\/p>\n
“The beavers will create habitat not just for the stork but for many other things.”<\/p>\n
To help track the birds’ movements, anyone who sees one of the ringed storks is encouraged to report their sighting via the Cornwall Stork Project website. <\/p>\n
