THREE rare White Storks have been spotted in Dalton. Mesmerised residents who got a glimpse of the bird were left impressed by their beauty as they walked and flew around Standing Tarn. The impressive birds had reportedly been seen on a number of days last week. According to The British List, which includes all 619 species of birds recorded in a wild or apparently wild state in Britain, the White Stork is a former breeder and a scarce visitor to Britain. The British Trust for Ornithology website states that there are just 28 recorded White Stork sightings per year in Britain. The carnivorous White Storks are white-bodied with black feathers on the lower half of their wing, with adults sporting red beaks.
