White stork Christmas card

The hand-drawn storks design coupled with bold pops of festive watercolour (in this case, colourful fairylights decorating their nest!) is guaranteed to capture the hearts of your loved ones.

The animal art Christmas card is perfect for those who embrace the unconventional and wish to add a touch of fun to their Christmas greetings this year. Whether you're sending holiday cheer to fellow wildlife enthusiasts or simply looking to surprise someone with a truly exceptional card, the Wild Lines stork Christmas card might just be the perfect choice.

In 2020, white storks bred in the UK for the first time in around 600 years. Over the centuries, storks have continued to fly through the UK but – because they nest in colonies – when they have crossed the white cliffs of Dover to find no other members of their species, their stays have been cut short.

Following the lead of projects elsewhere in Europe, 20 young, captive-bred storks were moved to a six-acre pen on Knepp Estate along with several rescued adult birds that could no longer fly. These individuals were to mimic a colony and entice passing wild storks to breed with them. That’s exactly what happened and, in May 2020, the first chicks were born. Those chicks are expected to return to their natal UK site to breed year-on-year.
