Long-vanished white storks have been reintroduced in southern England, leading to an “explosion” in sightings across Greater London in recent years. White storks could once be seen flying in Britain’s skies and building their huge nests on roofs and buildings as well as in trees, but disappeared centuries ago as a breeding bird due to hunting and habitat loss. In the four decades before the start of the project there were just 27 records of white storks across Greater London. “You look up into the skies and see a white stork, it’s quite obvious.”And he said: “We realised in recent years we’ve seen an explosion in white stork recordings across Greater London. The first phase of the study has involved surveying a representative sample of 1,000 Londoners, and a second phase is asking residents and frequent visitors to give their view on white storks and their place in the capital.

It comes after Home Office figures published in March showed that around 16,000 people who claimed asylum in 2024 had originally arrived in the UK on a study visa. Image credit: Wikipedia Under the proposed changes reported by The Times, universities face penalties if they fail to meet certain performance thresholds for international students. These include ensuring that at least 95 percent of foreign students actually begin their courses and at least 90 percent complete them. Institutions that fall short will face restrictions on how many international students they can sponsor and will be required to demonstrate improvements, while those with persistently poor records will face losing the ability to sponsor overseas students altogether. The 16,000 asylum claims made by overseas students in 2024 represents around 2% of that figure.
