The calculated migration of the storks

* The author is part of the community of readers of La Vanguardia

The storks are on their way north like every year at the end of winter and in the Osona region many spend a night in tall buildings, to begin the journey again when they have favorable air currents.

While the groups of storks wait to resume flight, they gather in the fields and take the opportunity to eat a little.

The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large species of bird. Its plumage is mostly white with black on the wings. And the legs and beak of adults acquire a red color. It measures an average of 100 and 115 cm from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail, and its wings can reach a span between 155 and 215 cm.

In the photos that I share in La Vanguardia Readers' Photos, captured in Les Masies de Voltregà, we see in an image the stork in full flight with fog covering the elevated areas in the background.

In the other photograph we see in more detail how the storks take flight and, due to the recent rains, with their legs full of mud.
