Description
In many parts of Europe the White stork is an unmissable bird, attending to its huge nests on the rooftops and telegraph poles of numerous towns and villages. It is unmistakable, with a white body, mostly black wings, red legs and a long red bill.
The bill-clattering is often part of a greeting ceremony between adults at the nest where one or both birds may throw their heads backwards until the bill is upside-down and almost touching their backs.
Thank you for looking, as always any comments or suggestions welcome 8~)

Excelent close up. Love the contrast between a beautyful white and a strong red.

Beautiful capture. My experience with these birds is all in Germany. They make quite a show when the "parents" change guard responsibilities over the nest when little ones are present.
