Adebar striding around outside.
They're not very bothered by humans. They keep an eye on us and that's it.
I've seen them hunt directly next to the motorway.
And when the neighbour plowed his field, they swarmed after the tractor, pecking up the freshly exposed snacks.
First of the Knepp webcam storklets has hatched! Scroll back to 11.32-11.33 on the webcam feed to see its little head bobbing about. https://whitestorkproject.org/live-cam-feed/ #StorkFamCam #Stork #Storks #Knepp #ReWilding #BioDiversity #Störche #Storche #WhiteStork #WhiteStorks #BirdsOfMastodon #Birds #Webcam
Stork still improving the nest. Perhaps the last week of crappy weather has necessitated some repairs. He's nicely cleaning up the birch twigs in front of the house. Get them all!
I'm not sure if there are eggs yet. There should be, but according to the previous folks, last year they did not succeed either.
Die Kiebitze in der Leinemasch verbringen ihre Tage damit, die Rabenkrähen auf Abstand zu halten. Den Reihern ist das völlig egal. Aber wie der Storch darauf abgeht, wenn ihm ein Kiebitz um die Nase saust:

On 1 March, Bulgarians celebrate the beginning of spring with the tradition of #Marteniza. On this day, friends and family members exchange red and white threads or small dolls known as martenizas. These are worn until the first #Stork or blossoming tree is seen, then they are tied to a #Tree. The red and white colours symbolise health and happiness.
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
A second stork arrived and after a few brief seconds of nuptials, Mrs. Adebaran moved in and they had a beak clap-a-thon together.
A few seconds later, kinky stuff occured - exclusively available to our paying OnlyStorks subscribers!
Turn on the sound for some beak clattering!
