A meeting place for nature lovers.
White Stork / Weisstorch

The bird claiming this pole was humored and assisted with the security, as you can see. The wire got lowered, a platform was installed well above it / Dem Vogel, der aud diesen Masten bestand, wurde offenbar dabei geholfen die Sicherheitsvorschriften am Bau umzusetzen. Das Kabel wurde tiefer gelegt und darueber eine Nisthilfe angebracht.

This is how I remember storks with their nests from my childhood =) Every pole seemed to be home to a stork family.... Nice find & capture!

Marvelous photo and amazing nest construction! Reminds me of Osprey nest in this country.

In Europe we also got a few Osprey nests built on nesting aid platforms as far as I know, but Osprey are very much rarer than White Storks, especially so far from the sea as I live. My last greater area sighting of a migrating individual was in 2012. There where a few records by other people in daytrip distance since, but I never had the luck to be in the right place to see it too.
