Last time no peacock feathers. This time they were all busy trying to impress the girls.
The rest were more in the lazy day mode...

Stork still improving the nest. Perhaps the last week of crappy weather has necessitated some repairs. He's nicely cleaning up the birch twigs in front of the house. Get them all!
I'm not sure if there are eggs yet. There should be, but according to the previous folks, last year they did not succeed either.

On 1 March, Bulgarians celebrate the beginning of spring with the tradition of #Marteniza. On this day, friends and family members exchange red and white threads or small dolls known as martenizas. These are worn until the first #Stork or blossoming tree is seen, then they are tied to a #Tree. The red and white colours symbolise health and happiness.
#SolarPunkSunday wouldn't be #SolarPunkSunday without checking in at the nest. Storklets hatching, we hope, from 12(-ish) April. https://whitestorkproject.org/live-cam-feed/ #StorkFamCam #Stork #Storks #Knepp #ReWilding #BioDiversity #Störche #Storche #WhiteStork #WhiteStorks #BirdsOfMastodon #Birds #Webcam

Stork card in progress for my upcoming Wayward Dark Lenormand.
Spending #SolarPunkSunday afternoon in the garden with the cherry blossom, bees and other pollinating insects. Will post links etc when I come in again. Big news for today is that there's a #stork egg in the #webcam nest at #Knepp. The #storks welcomed their new arrival at about 23.42-23.43 yesterday evening. So exciting! https://whitestorkproject.org/live-cam-feed/
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.

White Storks are migratory birds, breeding in warmer climates across Europe and West Asia and wintering in Africa.

Happy New Year 2025! I feel some trepidation but hope for a good year.
This linocut shows how I imagine the great white stork of European folklore, who carries babies to new parents.
The ancient stork-the-baby-bringer legend was made popular by Hans Christian Anderson’s story called ‘The Storks’. 1/2
