birds around us - stork

The white stork (Ciconia ciconia)
The black stork (Ciconia nigra)

Who does not know the stork, white of course, because even the black stork. I myself only 2 times I have seen the black stork. Poland boasts the largest population of white storks in Europe. In Podlasie is a lot of them here, because habitats are the most natural and less urbanized. People also for centuries to protect this bird. It is found in the sayings, folk songs. Because nests within human settlements, so is well known. The arrival of the stork is sometimes much earlier, when winter is prolonged. In 2012, April 9 was considerable snow cover and frost, but the storks flew over and a great flocks. The view was special, because I watched during a ride on skis. Departures stork in the last days of August, at the same time we point to the end of the summer and holidays. Shooting of storks is not difficult, but interesting photos is not always easy to make.
