Stalking stork

The white stork seen from my breakfast table in Motel Petro, Torzym, West Poland.

About 30% of white storks are hatched in this country. This year the abundance of storks is a relief after the appearnace of some bird flu cases at the start of the season. Happily not one single dead stork was seen in this country, other than one killed by a panic artist worried about catching bird flu from it. They were traditionally considered to be bringers of good fortune and fertility.

@BlackHoleSun1921 I understand how you feel when you look out of your window and don't see any. But they are in Africa still at the moment. They should be back in five weeks or so. Hang on in there.

Biggest white stork population in Belarus

@Boppaloppagus it's of a similar size to the population in Poland, but I am not convinced that it is bigger.

They are such big,pretty birds.Their long legs and big(ish) feet make them even more beutiful in my eye.

Thanks for this video---perfect music,by the way :-)

This bird seems to be looking for lunch.

The European White Stork is a threatened species. Loss of habitat, poison, even hunting have diminished the number of birds. White stork is the national bird of Poland and Lithuania.
