09:25	Initially grazing field to west of weir but flighted west and just about to retrace my steps - no obvious rings but presumably rewilding bird.

15:21	Flew at a little over tree height in a southeastward direction over the lake nearest the water treatment works, chased by a gull.

19/03/22	WHITE STORK	Reading Services	1	C Forster brown
12:05	Brief views when we were leaving the services, bird heading east. Potentially a Knepp bird. Seen later at Thatcham Marsh.
20/03/22	WHITE STORK	Frost Folly	1	R Dawson
10:40	Alerted by reports of a Stork flying towards Bracknell from Lower Earley and Dinton Pastures about 15 minutes earlier, I scanned the sky high to the S in the direction of Bracknell from near the car park at Frost Folly and picked up a large bird much bigger than the local Kites probably about a mile away. It circled a few times before drifting off to the E. I could only see it in silhouette due to height and roughly towards the sun, but it clearly showed a long neck held straight out, a long bill much broader at the base, long wings held flat and with legs trailing out behind.
19/03/22	WHITE STORK	Nature Discovery Centre, Thatcham Marsh	1	B Philpott
13:56	Large number of red kite circling around. Whilst I was watching those a white stork came low over the car park at not much above tree height. It came over my head and then ESE towards Thatcham. I quickly lost it behind the trees. My family then walked around the lakes over the railway to the canal and turned left towards Thatcham. I again saw the stork at a distance the far side of the canal over the wet meadows flying towards what I believe is the Greenham Common direction. This was about 30 or 40 minutes after the first sighting. Presumably a Knepp project bird but I couldnt see any ring markings etc. SU506669.
