White Stork- Ciconia ciconia - a photo on Flickriver

            We don't usually photograph birds but when you're in Portugal in spring it's impossible not to be fascinated by these huge nests that crown almost every roof and pylon, each with a stork either sitting on its eggs or feeding babies.

We'd never managed to get a decent record shot until we were travelling home from Luz last April and stopped in one of the service stations on the Algarve section of the A2 motorway. As we pulled in we could see this stork sitting on her(?) nest so John put our 200mm lens on his camera and got as close as he could (not very) for a shot. There was nothing to stop him approaching the pylon but this was the closest he could get and still see the stork.
