« WHITE STORKS».

As I walked along the narrow streets of a small Spanish village, I felt excited at the prospect
of being allowed up onto the roof of a beautiful church. My purpose in being there was to
take photographs of the white storks which had been seen nesting in the bell tower high
above the village streets. In fact, storks had been my ticket into many similar adventures over
the years.

Storks are large, beautiful birds with long necks and taking pictures of them is not easy. In
towns and villages storks build their nests, which are like platforms made out of twigs, high
up on rooftops or treetops. So my initial job was to collect a huge key, let myself into the
church, and climb up the bell tower so I could at least see the white stork nest on the roof of
the tower.

I eventually reached the top and lifted the door above my head. After the hot, dry streets
below there was a wonderful cool breeze and staring at me from their nest about forty metres
away were three half-grown storks. It was a marvellous scene, especially in view of the fact
that towards the end of the twentieth century there was great concern about the future of the
white storks.

The numbers of the storks had been decreasing for various reasons. The major cause for this
decrease was due to the lack of rain in West Africa. Storks traditionally escape the European
winter and depend on insects and other animals for their food supply. The severe drought
caused by hardly any rainfall for years in West Africa had reduced the storks’ supply of food
with disastrous consequences.

Human development has also affected the stork’s ability to survive, but in this case the bird
has proved to be very adaptable. In natural environments, the stork nests in trees and on
rocks. However, as buildings began to spread onto the storks’ natural nesting sites, the birds
adjusted to this loss by carrying their twigs even higher. Radio towers, road signs, statues,
monuments, chimneys and even pylons carrying electricity have become loaded with piles of
twigs.

Another example of the stork’s amazing ability to adjust to changes in the environment is its
diet. If a stork can’t find sufficient food in the natural habitat then it seems it will quite
happily feed off it can find in rubbish tips. This reliable source of food is probably one of the
reasons why a sizable percentage of the stork populations in Spain no longer migrate by
flying off to Africa for the winter.

However, there is a new threat to storks on the horizon. European Union rules and
regulations may affect the source of food found on rubbish tips, as governments are now
being asked to clean up rubbish tips by covering them over. This will obviously cut off a
valuable food supply for the storks. Nevertheless, like any animal or bird which has so
successfully adapted to human development, the stork will no doubt find a way to ensure it
will survive long into the future.
