    Such fun behavior to see, and love seeing the pair in the nest. I only wish the lighting on the right bird were better.

    Hi Marina

    thanks, yep fun to watch, very noisy actually!

    All the WStorks are really dirty from the nest, so although actually pure white, they are covered in.......
    Agree on light, very strong from behind, can lift it I think

    Richard,

    You did the best you could with the light available, and I hope you get the chance to head back and get these guys with a bit better light. If you do, make sure to post!
