The arrival & departure of #whitestorks in Malta is always eventful.Birds followed till their roost, watched them overnight and despite attempt at targeting them, most made it out safely. A frenzy of birdwatchers, staff, dedicated volunteers & police units. Spring migration is on
Our newborn #WhiteStorks are famous! Today they were interviewed by AFP News Agency and they had a lot to say 😍
White Storks nesting in a village in Faro, Portugal. Most of their food from the ground, among low vegetation & from shallow water & eats insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, small birds, if those not available they would eat rubbish for survival. #whitestorks
The abundance of #earthworms increased significantly at our #directdrilled fields. Regular observation of foraging #whitestorks is a good indicator of this change. Visiting the #AllertonProject a decade ago provided key inspiration for the transition to #RegenerativeAgriculture .
More #WhiteStorks (1.600) in Brazo del Este in Doñana today than #BTgodwit 's (some 650) #grutto 's in this area in Spain. Should be the other way around... Maybe some rain + water conservation in the region will help? Global Flyway Network Wader Study Wadden & Delta Centre University of Groningen Vogelbescherming NL
