| Quote: | |  | | | There's a couple of storks in Pfäffikon ZH next to the lake, they stayed there the whole winter and are mating since almost 3 weeks now... | | | | | Also spent a good 30 minutes together with my grey heron pal a couple of days ago (I like to think that its the same each year), watching and listening to the thousands of frogs in a wildlife pond just above the center of Zurich yesterday.
See something beautiful on this walk there almost daily. Be it deer, different bird species, flora or what else changes with the seasons.
Would upload, but it’s quite complicated on EF.

And they're returning again. Went down to IENA this morning and several nests have a stork on them; a few have a pair. | | The following 5 users would like to thank Medea Fleecestealer for this useful post: | |

As well as IENA there's also the Stork centre at Altreu, which is the biggest colony in Switzerland. https://www.infowiti.ch/de/witi/ |

We saw a couple in a field on the way to Murten on Thursday.
IENA is the equestrian centre in Avenches.
