Two storks on a nest.

Two white storks (likely Ciconia ciconia) are perched atop a nest. They are likely breeding birds, as evidenced by their presence in a nest. The storks are identifiable by their white plumage, black wingtips, and red beaks. One stork has a leg band, suggesting it may be part of a study or tracking program. The image shows the birds in a natural habitat, likely during the breeding season.
