White stork gone from Denmark

Agriculture is essential to the survival of the white stork, but the advent of industrialised, uniform agriculture has harmed them. The stork can't find food in the fields or meadows because the grass has become too high. There is also no longer any variation in the acreage.

A true tragedy that there are no longer breeding storks in Denmark.

The same sort of thing has affected the numbers of Brown Hares in Great Britain.
