White Stork Nest at Cerklje Parish

A Treasured Nesting Site

Perched on the rooftop of the parish house in Cerklje na Gorenjskem, this nest has drawn devoted white storks back year after year since 2011. The camera observes the birds from the bell tower at a respectful distance, capturing intimate moments of family life without disturbing the colony.

Stately White Storks in Close View

The white stork is one of Europe's most recognizable birds, with its striking black-and-white plumage and long red legs and bill. Here you can watch the adults stand watchfully over the nest, deliver food, and perform the bonding rituals that define each breeding pair.

The Slovenian Countryside Beyond

Surrounding the nest lies the verdant Gorenjska region, a landscape of fields, woodland and stone architecture in the shadow of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The setting offers a window into rural Slovenian life and the close coexistence of people and wildlife.
