Bird nest

The first signs of spring are already here.
 
Since yesterday, in the Haskovo village of Podkrepa people enjoy the company a stork that landed on the nest at the local church.
 
"People in our village are believers, so here comes the first stork," explained Velichka Kireva.
 

For the first time in ten years, an active nest of Saker Falcon Falco cherrug has been found in Bulgaria. Hopes are high that this endangered raptor is one step closer to establishing a sustainable breeding population in the country.

Storks have flown back to their nest with the arrival of spring, after their nest was moved last year from the roof of a middle school to the roof of an elementary school in the central Anatolian province of Sivas. Due to safety reasons, the 35-year-old nest was carefully moved to its new spot with a crane.

Safet Khalid of the Silistra village of Zaritsa saved five storks last night from frost. Khalid released late last night on Facebook a photo of the birds he hosted at his home. He found them half stiff and with the help of friends he brought them to his home.

Today, Nezabravka Kirova-Hristova from the same village published a photo of Safet and the storks surviving in his home.

Residents of the villages of Slomer, Maslarovo and Klimentovo in Veliko Turnovo region have reported in the regional eco-inspection that they have found wounded storks, reported BNT.

A stork brought a bra to his nest in Simitli and his mate left him, reports the BGNES agency. 

According to the report, the bra – large size, white and somewhat dirty, has been dangling from the nest since the spring, when the male stork brought it to repair the nest.
