Description: | Thomas Bewick based his engraving of the Stork on a stuffed specimen that was 'now in the Newcastle Museum'. In his book, 'Water Birds' he gives us some interesting facts about it. The Stork migrates at night, is seldom seen in Britain and is considered by some societies to be a sacred bird. He shows it in its typical nesting place high up above the houses amongst the chimney pots and steeples. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1825 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
