Two a penny

They are such a common sight around the province. Big storks; they nest on top of churches, on walls, in trees - we even saw one nesting on top of a bus shelter. They make a very strange sound too, sort of like someone clearing pleghm from their throat at the same time as crunching their way through some very crunchy crisps.

They may be common but they are rather splendid and just a tad more impressive than sparrows as they wheel overhead.
