Young white storks (Ciconia ciconia) on the nest, Coto Doñana, Andalucía, Spain
The young birds do not yet have the completely red bills of the adults. But they look fully feathered and normally would soon be ready for the long journey south into Africa. Except that in this part of Spain, the weather is so warm year round that white storks do not migrate.
The camera here is obliged to look up at the nest on the roof of an isolated building; there was no opportunity to get to eye level with them, as there was when I photographed the species in Moura, Portugal.
