The winner is only 3 days old. What was its secret? It's not hard to guess. A cute stork video on Valentine's Day. That's the secret: published on the right day and using a good hashtag.

What did the storks do in their nests in January?

What? If they were at home, mainly stood in the nest and didn't do anything else.
Of course this was just a joke. Or not? :)

#WSWW2019 in January:
  • Total number of nests observed: 112
  • Total number of observations: 756

When White Storks were observed in one of the nests, they stood in 89.1 percent of the cases. In addition, they often were sitting (12.6%) or preening (10.9%). Rarely observed when the Storks arrived or fly away. For more details look at the graph below.


As most of the working webcams are in Germany, of course, the observations were mostly in german nests.


In January, 88 observation forms were uploaded from Höchstadt's webcam nest! 
The only time that 3 adult Storks were observed in a nest was also here. :)

You can see below how frequent the observations were in  hours of the day, and the Storks presence / absence in the nest.
