Hi, I can assure you I love all storks! Even Marabous are my faforites! I envy you can see these fabulous birds with our own eyes! Thank you for sharing your experience with us all. I have only once by accident seen White Storks in Finland, they are very seldom, ecceptionally seen birds here..Jasmijn wrote:Ehhhh I don't know if you all only love the black stork or all species of the stork?
I will share my yesterdays 'adventure' and pictures with you;
Two storks where terrible 'fladdering' above our house as if they could fall down any second.
I was exited and terrifying at the same time, but I took my camera and followd them.
They allmost fall in our meadow, they seemt very exhausted and wet.
They stayed allday and thismorning they left early and wher okay.

That poor stork. In the middle picture he/she looks exhausted, soaked and very downcast.Jasmijn wrote:Ehhhh I don't know if you all only love the black stork or all species of the stork?

Thank you for sharing that camera link!
Have you any information about wintering of BSs in Portugal? In Southern Spain they winter surely...
Is that nest of Black Stork or Griffon, we see? Storks nest in Portugal in similar places along the rivers, as I know.
I have today watched the vulture cam, - like yesterday! Yesterday the Cegonha Negra was there in the nest several hours, and spent the night there too. I don't know if the other BS was there too. Today she was not seen during day hours, but in the evening she rerturned! At 20.21.garina do mar wrote:Black storkes arrival in Portugal
And one video that was made last year when a young blackstork in her flying trials decided to visit the gyps vulture nest
Their nest was just underneath this one so it is not visible.

The link is ok. It´s from the portuguese Foundation for Scientific Computing and official broad band provider.
Other videos from gyps vultures are here: http://www.zappiens.pt/lista_videos.php?id=45

There is a discussion thread and I translated with google almost all! Well, they are all entusiasts, what else.. People think that this black stork seems to be healthy and good looking, well fed, it's feathers are exeptionally shining in sunlight, it behaves calm.
Now it is sleeping there, I don't know how many meters high up from the level of the river. The nest which this (these?.. if the two storks seen there are a couple) Black stork has chosen is an old Griffon Vulture's nest. It is about to fall down - it is broken by storms and rain, the watchers there told.
I wonder if one month is enough time for them to prepaire and rebuild the nest..First eggs should be seen at the end of March..
There are people who have watched the Estonian web cam last year. Now they hope they could watch as well the portuguese BS nesting as the Estonian BS's nesting too, and to make coparisons! Oh, it would be great!
(google transl:Last year much like to see the Estonia! Until then I knew that there were no black storks !:(((
