White Stork (Ciconia ciconia).

The White Stork migrates from northern Europe to central Africa. It lives near slow-moving streams, ponds, and lakes, where it hunts a variety of prey, including insects, lizards, fish, birds, small rodents, and marsupials. During the breeding season, White Storks build large, wide nests using branches, grass, and vegetation. These nests are typically located in high places such as treetops, rooftops, schools, houses, or even on utility poles and communication towers. However, this puts them at risk of electrocution or injury from collisions with wires. In areas near rural or urban settings, they may mistakenly eat harmful waste like rubber bands or poisoned animals, especially near landfills or polluted streams, which can be fatal.
