White Storks in Extremadura
In Extremadura we have the highest density of breeding White Storks in Spain with over 11,000 pairs in 2004, a number which seems to be increasing each year. Not all nest on buildings, indeed there are as many pairs breeding in trees and near Cáceres there is even a colony nesting on top of large granite boulders.Despite being migratory birds, due to the mild climate in the Region, you can fidn storks any time of the year in the area.
