Hi All.

The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae, breeding in the warmer parts of Europe (north to Estonia), northwest Africa, and southwest Asia (east to southern Kazakhstan). It is a strong migrant, wintering mainly in tropical Africa, down to the south of South Africa, and also in the Indian Subcontinent.

It is a huge bird, 100-115 cm tall, with a 155-165 cm wingspan and a weight of 2.3-4.4 kg. It is completely white except for the black wing flight feathers, and its red bill and legs. It walks slowly and steadily on the ground. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched.

Hello Stefan,
Beautiful capture of this White Stork showing off his breast feathers and hoping to attract a female. I hope they'll breed! It looks as if the nest was unused last year so he'll have to do a bit of weeding first!! The weeds certainly add charm to this very beautiful composition. Great sharpness and beuatiful light. The dark background makes it perfect!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Stefen, A great close up shot of this Stork! Love the pose with his feathers displaying. Great sharpness and detail on the bird, even the flowers around the nest. Marvellous colours, it is a beautiful bird. Great POV.

Hello Stefan,
I really like those birds as I think that they always look so elegant :) You caught very nice details and this environment is stunning with those little white flowers. They are some little white parts that are a little OE but it is really nit picking :) This is a beautiful one! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Stefan.
Amazing scene has been captured by you. Nest, vegetation and flowers in it and wonderful stork. All these object are perfect detailed, sharpened and coloured. BG is very impressive too as well as the whole composition and nice framing. Bravo. Perfect done and TFS.

Hello Stafan !
The white stork is the symbol of Alsace, the region where I live, and it's also one of my favourite birds. I love the pose of the bird here, it is excellent. Excellent details and wonderful composition showing the big nest. I also like the dark blurred BG, which makes the stork stand out very nicely. Well done !

Hello Stefan,
The combination of black and white makes this stork's plumage very attractive.
Lovely picture from an effective perspective. The light falling from the rear creates good contrasts.
The dark bokeh BG suits the subject.

Nice sharp shot of a White Stork on its nest, with fine lighting and BG.
I like the way this shot shows how fertile for plant growth a stork's nest can be!

Ahoj Stefan.
To je opravdu krásný obrázek s nádhernou pózou tohoto čápa.Líbí se mi pěkně ostré detaily jeho načepýřeného peří.V našem regionu jsem letos ještě čápa neviděl.Velmi pěkná kompozice a technicky velmi dobře provedené.
TFS Miloš.
