White storks 2021

Young storks	Coming to grips with take off	Back to the nest after the previous day's flight lesson	Back to the nest after the previous day's flight lesson	Back to the nest after the previous day's flight lesson	Back to the nest after the previous day's flight lesson	Balancing	Inspecting the farmer's work
Elegance	Landing on a hay stack	Caught in the act while stealing	Exquisite wings	Stork and weary heron	One of the last flights towards the nesting place before they leave	The three young ones having left their nest together for the first time	Parent and two young ones
Parents grooming themselves rather than looking after the young ones	The parents	Storks trying to decide which is the best side of the fence to be on	Some flight feathers still missing	Parents taking turns to look after the chicks	Checking the fields for food after a torrential downpour	Off	Stork against a murky sky
Storks in flight	A good clean up after the meal	Getting smartened up	Stork	Food has arrived	Greens	Delivery completed	Waiting for Dad to bring food
Hungry storks	Stork with hungry chicks	Stork with hungry chicks	Stork impatiently waiting for partner to bring food for the youngsters	Stork with hungry chicks	Stork	Stork	Stork
Stork in flight	Intimacy	Stork nuptials	Stork couple	Kiss	Inspecting the adequacy of the nest	Awaiting new life	Stork parents taking their turns with looking after the eggs
Ready to go in search of food	Glorious wing span	Defensive posture	Constantly alert	Stork gathering	Stork gathering	Stork gathering	Off
Stork departing	Flying off	Leaving	Aware of being observed	Finding lunch	Just before they will go away for this season	Just before they will go away for this season	Just before they will go away for this season
The three young storks just before they are off	Not a two-headed stork	Last stork to still be here	Stork and hay ball	Farewell for now
