There various datasets around showing correlations between numbers of storks and numbers of births, although differences in changes over time. Usually they are described as having been observed in Sweden. I seem to remember one set in a Genstat manual. I have been asked about an unreferenced set I used in an article in abput 1980, although I think it was later. I have been using a version recently to teach abput the Bradfprd Hill criteria. Does anyone have any referenced source of such data?
