Sorry I've missed this Sis, saw it in What's Buzzing ... and thought it must be here!
How fabulous to see a group of 13 ... were they all in the one garden? They are obviously very tame that they wander around like that. Just love that last photo.

Thanks, Sis. Yes, they were all in one garden, but I couldn't get them all to show clearly on one pic as they were scattered around and three were on the roof. It's a pity there was no nice background and the garbage wheelie is a real eyesore.  The last one is cropped. I wouldn't say that they are tame, just used to landing in peoples gardens and cars going by. If I'd got out, I'm sure they would have flown away. You often see the small ibis in gardens, have had them here now and then as well, the large egrets are mostly nearer the water. |

I was really lucky on Sunday. We were driving along and there, in the very same garden as about 2 weeks ago, was another flock of Wood Storks, this time, 19 plus 1 Egret!!!!!!!!!! Peter turned the car around and I got out very slowly and started taking pics. There are 8 in this pic -   I caught this one as he flapped up from the lawn on to the roof -  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_Stork |

That particular garden must have something special in it they like Sis. Lovely photos especially the first and third ones ... I can't see the fourth one.

Cor! There was me being brought up to believe Stork was either a Margerine, or a bird that delivered new-born babies? I'm disappointed now.

Thanks guys!
I think the people in this house must put something out for them to eat. I wish I knew what as I'd then put it all over our garden, both front and back.
It's the White Storks that bring the babies and produce margarine, Mikkel, not these Wood Storks. So, keep believing, then you won't be disappointed. ;D ;D

A good one, Alfie, just love it. Well, if it was bird droppings, I could go into business selling guano. If it was margarine, I could go into business selling it. ;D ;D I wonder if that is what the people whose garden the Woodstorks keep going to are doing?  ?? |
