White Storks

Great series Bernadette,beautiful photos showing several aspects of the storks migration,congrats on the well deserved SOTD and thanks for sharing

Congratulations Bernadette! And that is a very beautiful picture!

We're glad we can finally highlight your white storks spotting Bernadette! And what better day than #WorldMigratoryBirdDay: Today is #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! Now taking place twice a year, on the second Saturday in May and in October, World Migratory Bird Day aims at unifying efforts worldwide in raising awareness on critical issues regarding the protection of migratory birds. One of the major threats for migratory birds is the change in habitat along their migration route. These white storks (Ciconia ciconia) were photographed in Sharm El Sheikh (South Sinai, Egypt) during their autumn migration. Project Noah member Bernadette Simpson writes: "Sharm el Sheikh is a bit off their normal route, but due to the increasing human population and number of hotels, there is a lot of green areas as well as rubbish that attracts them to the city".

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Fabulous spotting Bernadette.
