Citizen Zoo to map habitats in the capital and consult boroughs and the public about reintroduction of the birds

White storks could once be seen flying in Britain’s skies and building their huge nests on roofs and in trees, but they disappeared centuries ago as a breeding bird as a result of hunting and habitat loss.
