Storks Have Arrived

[manoldonchev]

Greetings, Fellow Feathered Things Watchers!

Writing from a village somewhere along the Via Pontica migration route. Our storks have finally returned from their winter holiday in Africa.

I was wondering...if the exceptionally strong winds that marked the beginning of April were also a gift from the Sahara desert...Cause they were not cold. Just violent. And now I wonder if the storks were able to actually fill their sails and arrive in Europe super quickly compared to flights with no hurricanes at their backs...Yeah, I also wondered if those winds were dangerous to birds in flight.

Seems not that much. I guess they be big birds with some knowledge of soaring the skies even under "unnatural" natural circumstances.

Camera Settings:

Aperture F 4; Shutter Speed 1/4000 of a second; Light Sensitivity ISO 200; Focal Length 200 mm.

All the shots were taken from the garden where I was playing the hoe. Then, I heard the sound storks make with their beaks when they want to tell you something. All right, that might have been a mating call. Then again, it might have been a comment, a complaint...virtually anything.

Otherwise, they are quite quiet creatures. Especially for their size. Yeah, the thing they do with their beaks can be heard from more than a village away but otherwise...

Generally, much appreciated and welcome birds. Good for explaining things to children.

For a moment there, I imagined having to explain a stork-delivered basket to my wife, though.

Thanks for watching with me. It would have been embarrassing, otherwise.

Peace!
