The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large, striking wader bird recognized for its predominantly white plumage, black wing tips, and long, slender red legs and bill. Native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East, this species is often seen in open landscapes such as meadows, wetlands, and agricultural fields. White Storks are known for their impressive migratory journeys, traveling between their breeding grounds in Europe and wintering sites in Africa. They are also notable for their large, distinctive nests, which are frequently built on rooftops, chimneys, or tall trees. Their graceful flight and distinctive calls make them a prominent and cherished bird in many cultures.
