Storks enjoying the last sunbeams of the day.

Also enjoying the pre-egg time. They're circling over the fields together, hunting mice, bringing in big chunks of grass to upholster the nest and shag at least 4 times a day (probably more).

And that's despite me chainsawing and impact drivering pretty much next to them today (the firewood store is almost under their nest). Don't seem to mind. At least I didn't hear any complaints. Good neighbours.

View over the roof of a barn towards a stork nest sitting on a concrete pillar. The setting sun is hitting half the nest and one stork while the other is already shaded. They're standing in the nest looking off to the side. One is preening its chest feathers with the long orange beak.

It's sunny and warm air is rising over the fields. More storks arrived, gliding on the thermals. Our two stand in their nest and scan the horizon. When another approaches, they throw their necks backwards, clatter with their beaks and stare the intruder down.

This seems to work, as none got close enough to start a fight.

The noisy cranes have yielded the area to the newcomers and can only be heard trumpeting from the distant wetlands.

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!

Adebar is back. Not seen him since last week, so I thought he may have found a different nest. Or maybe this is a different stork, no idea. Perhaps he had to get used to the new farm owners and more activity first. Or was snoozing somewhere after the long trip. Or went to MiceDonalds and devoured 23 McRodent in a row. 🤷‍♂️

Well, glad he's back.

A stork, all black and white and orange beak, standing in his nest of twigs up high on a concrete pole. It looks very regal and has the neck feathers sticking out like spikes. It's facing south over the meadow, but keeping one eye on the photographer.

A maribou stork photographed in Zimbabwe and the scene desaturated in processing. It is sometimes called the "undertaker bird" due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of "hair". Not to mention its penchant for carrion.

Étape pendant la migration ? Oui mais pas forcément. Entre les milieux favorables et riches de la Brenne... Et le réchauffement climatique de nombreuses espèces migratices ont de plus en plus tendance à limiter leur déplacement ou à ne plus bouger du tout. C'est notamment le cas des grues cendrées et parfois des cigognes blanches dont des groupes restent parfois à l'année dans la région naturelle... Alors c'est sympa pour les photos mais ça pose tout un tas de questions sur les milieux qui sont davantage sollicités et fragilisés
Bon cette cigogne seule était peut-être juste de passage et je suis très content de l'avoir vue voler puis se cacher dans l'étang.
