Practice makes the master

Life is going on in the storks nests across Europe. The nestlings are growing, and even though they are still mainly thinking about eating and drinking, they are already preparing for the first big journey.

Their wings are getting bigger and stronger, and they are practicing their first flight. Practice makes the master, and they must become masters soon.

We must say goodbye to them soon, but in the next few weeks we will be able to watch their first flights. If you cannot observe because there is not a stork's nests near you, then watching through the webcams and the video below as well! ;-)

Storks on the main street on a hot summer day (Görbeháza, Hungary)

Date: June 25, 2019

Görbeháza is a village in Eastern Hungary, Hajdú-Bihar county.
Human Population: 2366 (2015) 

There are 37 White Stork nests in the village. 17 nests are on the main street (Böszörményi Street).

In the summer the Storks are the main attraction in this street. It seems that the breeding success will be good this year.

Storks of El Badi Palace

@WStorkWatching's first short video is ready. Check out on YouTube and please press the LIKE button if you liked it! ;-)

This place was on the bucket list, not by chance. On March 16, we visited the El Badi Palace and its Storks, and made a short video about them. I highly recommend that you should look at it if you like the White Storks! ;-)

Wikipedia: El Badi Palace (Arabic: قصر البديع‎; meaning The incomparable palace) is a ruined palace located in Marrakesh, Morocco. It was commissioned by the sultan Ahmad al-Mansur of the Saadian dynasty sometime shortly after his accession in 1578. It is currently a popular tourist attraction.
