Stork 2

Stork 2

During the breeding season they pair off, and perform an awkward mating dance. During the mating dance the stork will hold it's wings outstretched and snap its bill open and shut. In several European countries platforms are built on top of homes to encourage nest building. To have a stork nest upon your roof is said to bring good luck. Here are a pair of nesting Painted Storks. [BM] {FW}
