Storks are my favourite birds in the summer so I love observing them. The nest of storks there is 5 kilometres from my summer house. The nest is located on the tree next to the road.

White Stork is very popular bird in Poland. Over 23% of world population (52,000 pairs) of this bird live here in Spring and Summer. Storks are wandering birds and just before Winter they fly away to hotter countries in Africa.
|
Storks made strong and durable nests (in Poland mainly on electric poles). where they are coming back every year. There are known nests which are used for 400 years!!
 |
| The storks family consist of parents and two children. |
 |
| Storks are huge birds. They have near 200 cm (79 in) wingspan and weight about 4 kg. They are very useful. because they feed with small field pests like mouses, voles and moles. Storks eat also small snakes, lizards, frogs and even small rabbits. |
| In Poland storks are deeply rooted in the culture. In the old religion it was believed, that stork takes souls to the paradise. Generally storks were believed to be birds which brings luck. Today Poles says, that storks bring children. |

how wonderful that you get to watch these beauties nest and raise young!
ReplyDeleteI am satisfied with it, too.
DeleteInteresting birds, which I don't think we have here. They are supposed to deliver new born babies in some countries.
ReplyDeleteStorks live in Europe, Asia and Africa. So you can't see in your country. They deliver babies to some people not all .It is a legend.... But it is a symbol of fertility.
DeleteI've never seen a stork's nest! Very neat photos and facts. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteStork don't live on your continent.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the photos and information about the storks. I love all of your photos.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. It's pleasure when you visit my blog
DeleteI would love to watch them myself. We have wood storks in our country....but to think, having YOUR storks use the nests for the last 400 years is absolutely astounding!! Wonderful information and lovely photo shares.
ReplyDeleteMildred of Blackberry Lane directed me here to view. I'm happy she did. I enjoyed this post.

ReplyDeleteYou added your link....it works perfectly! Thanks for sharing on the photo blog for other birders..
DeleteSo I am waiting for you with your camera.
DeleteWelcome to Anni's meme! Love your stork photos, and especially the wonderful information. The fact that storks have been part of the culture in Poland for so long is something I had no ide4a about, and am glad to know. We have the story here in America too about the stork bringing new babies, and I can bet it originated in Europe, especially Poland and came over with immigrants! That also is very great to learn!
ReplyDeleteSo I hope you can visit my blog more often so you have learned much more about my culture.
DeleteWonderful birds! They don't nest in Finland, but they are sometimes seen during migration.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right. Greetings from Poland.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and a really huge stork population.

ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the storks...I had a vague memory of a children's story I once read to my classroom...The Wheel on the School...fun story based in The Netherlands. You made Mildred's day with the beautiful postcards!

What an interesting post. I remember my dad telling me about the storks where he lived. I think it's storks I see migrating in spring and autumn here in Germany. They make a lot of noise as they fly over. When someone has a baby here in Germany, they put a 3D image of a stork outside their house.
ReplyDeleteYes , I have seen it while I was staying in Germany.Greetings.
DeleteBeautiful photos! I've seen you around and about at other blogs, glad I finally stopped by. Storks have always fascinated me although, of course, I've never seen any personally.
ReplyDeleteSo , nice to meet you. Greetings from Poland. Have a nice day.
