In the large olive tree each year the storks return in the winter and spruce up their nest ready for a new family.
No way are we coming down from here!
Three little storks, all alone, mum and dad have left the nest to encourage them to fly - hunger must be a great incentive.
To date:
2006 - 1 chick
2007 - 4 chicks
2008 - nil
2009 - 3 chicks
2010 - 3 chicks
The parents leave when the chicks are ready to fly which is normally June / July time. They do come back and check on their progress though.
Aren't we clever?
