Around the world. Storks ready for take-off

It’s migration season for white storks, shown here tending to a nest at Los Barruecos Natural Monument in Central Spain. This destination is known for large, granite boulders intermixed with sculptures created by local artists - and it’s a favourite stork nesting spot. In August and September, white storks depart their nests for a 25-day trip south to their African wintering grounds, where they gather in large flocks. The species returns to Europe again nine months later - hence its unique role in folklore, giving parents a low-stress way to answer the question ‘where do babies come from?’
