In a white stork nest in Acalá de Henares an identical behaviour of the female towards the only stork in the nest was observed. When he was lying down, she even mounted him for several seconds. Curious to say the least

where is Zica? storklets are begging for food and Natalio is at 13.21 and next singing for her (?)

13.36.21 Natalio out
13.55 not nice duet - begging for food

14.16.13 Natalio in and FEEDING - 14.16.30 - he shook out the food on more occasions - both ate





some (3?) pieces he ate back
the side protrusion of the black feather towards the white part = Natalio (and this sign does not depend on the light conditions)

el nido no está en un río, sino en un lago próximo al río Tajo - the nest is not in a river, but in a lake near the Tagus river

el sitio es muy conocido localmente y en verano suele estar demasiado concurrido
- the site is well known locally and in the summer it is often very busy
En la zona también suele anidar una pareja de alimoche y de búho real
- a pair of Egyptian vultures and eagle owls also nest in the area

En el Centro de Interpretación del Tajo Internacional que está en Alcántara (Cáceres) está esta cámara en directo. Las monitoras del Centro seguro os pueden contar muchas cosas sobre el nido
- In the Centro de Interpretación del Tajo Internacional in Alcántara (Cáceres) you can find this live camera. The monitors of the Centre can tell you many things about the nest.
