Description


Coppia di cicogne a Coltano ( PI ) Pair of storks in Coltano (PI) Cicogna Bianca - White Stork Atlante Specie originaria dell'Europa e del Nord Africa. Attualmente è presente in molti Paesi europei (come Italia, Germania, Olanda, Spagna e Portogallo, e anche in Grecia, Belgio e Turchia; coppie isolate o individui singoli vivono in Polonia). Il declino della Cicogna bianca, che ha interessato non solo l'Italia ma tutta Europa, è imputabile alla distruzione e al degrado degli ambienti di alimentazione ed alla persecuzione da parte dell'uomo. Negli ultimi decenni si assiste ad un lento ma costante incremento della popolazione nidificante (come nel Padule di Fucecchio in Toscana ). Atlas Species native to Europe and North Africa. It is currently present in many European countries (like Italy, Germany, Holland, Spain and Portugal, and also in Greece, Belgium and Turkey; isolated pairs or single individuals living in Poland). The decline of the white stork, which affected not only Italy but throughout Europe, is due to the destruction and degradation of environment and nutrition to persecution by man. In recent decades there has been a slow but steady increase in breeding population (as in the Marsh of Fucecchio in Tuscany).

Non presenta particolare diformismo sessuale, a parte le dimensioni che sono maggiori nei maschi. Gli esemplari giovani si distinguono per il colore più scuro del becco e delle zampe. Lunghezza circa 110 cm; apertura alare 1,50-1,60 cm; peso fino a 4 kg. Distinctive Features It features a pure white plumage, except the end part of the wings and tail.

Oh, bello. Non potete migliorare su quelle nubi fantastiche come priorità bassa per questi uccelli magnifici. Colpo superbo, una bellezza reale. Oh, beautiful. You can not improve upon those fantastic clouds as a background for these magnificent birds. Superb shot, a real beauty.

The storks look wonderful against the pale blue sky and clouds! I like the way the sunlight makes a highlighted outline on the wings of the one on the right. Beautiful image! Le cicogne meraviglioso guardare contro il cielo azzurro e nuvole! Mi piace il modo in cui il sole fa un contorno evidenziato sulle ali della cicogna a destra. Bella immagine! Buona giornata
