Here is an example of why our white stork protection project is so important. Apart from moving nests from roofs we also replace old and fatigued wooden and concrete poles on which nests are located, with new spun prestressed concrete poles. This time the birds were very lucky. The pole broke over a week ago during a storm, but the young had already been well grown and had a soft landing. We recommended the owners to leave the lucky three on a fenced property and watch if the parents come and feed them. They did. We visited them today; the birds can fly and are doing well. In September a new pole will be stood in place of the broken one. It will have a 25-year guarantee. This time such an accident won’t happen.
