Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and white stork (Ciconia ciconia) having a little neighbourhood dispute. I call this one “Get out of my lawn”. Zoo Aquarium, Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸, 11th April 2025.

Found some baby white storks making frog sounds on Youtube for you:

I finally managed to take a good picture of the local White Stork couple.

As far as I know this is the first time that White Storks are breeding in Ampflwang, Upper Austria.

Majestic birds. They have a larger wingspan than most birds of prey in our region.

Apparemment j'ai déménagé dans l'est... Ou c'est juste un coup de bol (ou alors c'est qu'avec les bouleversements climatiques, les milieux naturels détruits et les corridors écologiques fractionnés, les espèces migratrices changent leurs habitudes ancestrales).
Bref, j'ai vu des cigognes en Sologne.

Edit : merci pour vos retours, je savais que la cigogne ce n'était pas qu'un truc alsacien mais dans ma tête, c'était une espèce un peu moins commune en métropole. En tout cas par chez moi

I managed to get sick, and will not be allowed to work for the rest of the week.

On the bright side, when walking to the pharmacy to buy medicine, I found the nest that the local #WhiteStork couple is building.

I am not feeling well enough to go and take pictures right now, but once I am healthy again, I am going to.

I just saw a #WhiteStork carry material for its nest.

Right next to my place, in rural Upper Austria. Seems they are breeding here now.
