Young man, nice, seeks for the season or more beautiful girl for common life, comfortable housing at disposal.

Ciconia is a genus of birds in the stork family. Six of the seven living species occur in the Old World, but the Maguari Stork has a South American range.
These are large storks, typically 100 cm tall, with a 180 cm wingspan and a long thick bill. Members of this genus are more variable in plumage than other storks, but several species have black upper bodies and wings, and white belly and undertail. Juveniles are a duller, browner version of the adult.
Ciconia storks are gregarious and colonial breeders, and pairs stay together for life. They typically build large stick nests in trees, although the Maguari Stork will nest on the ground and at least three species will construct their nests on human habitations. One of these, the White Stork, is probably the best known of all storks, with a wealth of legend and folklore associated with this familiar visitor to Europe.
Ciconia storks feed on frogs, insects, young birds, lizards and rodents. They fly with the neck outstretched, like most other storks, but unlike herons which retract their neck in flight.
The migratory species like the White Stork and the Black Stork soar on broad wings and rely on thermals of hot air for sustained long distance flight. Since thermals only form over land, these storks, like large raptors, must cross the Mediterranean at the narrowest points, and many of these birds can be seen going through the Straits of Gibraltar and the Bosphorus on migration.

Hi Robi,
Excellent capture!
I like the way light makes such a beautiful details on the feathers.
Excellent exposition use and control on the whites.
Great the composition builded over the blue sky and the eye contact.
Congratulations and thanks for share.

Bonjour Robi,
Merci pour ce beau cliché de cette espèce très attachante, et pour ta note très interessante. Dans le sud de la France, nous ne pouvons observer les cigognoes que fugacement, lors de leurs migrations.
Salutations

Hi Robi

Nice capture. I like the compostion wuth the nest occupying the lower part of the frame and the stork and sky the upper - good contrast of shape and colour. James

Bonjour Robi,
Je suis un peu pressée par le temps actuellement, je n'ai pas lu ta note mais que je trouve ce portrait exquis. Ces oiseaux peuvent tellement avoir l'air élégants. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs, la prise de vue, la composition et les détails. C'est un EXCELLENT portrait de cette belle Cygogne, bravo!

Bonsoir Robi,
I like the pose and composition of this shot. It is also sharp, but perhaps the stork is a little over-exposed.
Tfs and best wishes, Ivan

superbe ta photo et là c'est moi qui rêve,car si celle ci est Suisse, J ADORE l'Alsace,
je pense ne pas me tromper mais en Alsace il y a des cygognes qui y restent en permanence
(à vérifier), prends le au second degré
la photo est magnifique on y voit bien les détails du travail fait par ces oiseaux assez intelligents
merci pour le partage
Nad,
je sais que ce n'est pas ta dernière postée mais elle m'a plu tout simplement
