White Stork nest - South and west Spain - April and May 2012
The White Stork breeds in open farmland areas with access to marshy wetlands, building a large stick nest in trees, on buildings or on purpose-built man-made platforms. Each nest is 3 to 7 feet in depth, 2 to 5 feet in diameter and 130 to 550 pounds in weight.

Several bird species often nest within the large nests of the White Stork. This photo shows a nest which had Lesser Kestrel, Spotless Starling, Spanish Sparrow and House Sparrow in attendance.
