White Stork Nest in Strzelce

The Stork Nest

This camera focuses on a White Stork nest built atop a tall wooden pole, overlooking a spacious private garden on the edge of Strzelce. Woven from interlaced branches and twigs, the platform is reused and enlarged season after season until it can weigh several hundred kilograms.

Life in the Nest

Viewers can watch the adult storks rearranging nesting material, standing guard, and tending to their young, with the pair's distinctive bill-clattering greeting marking a memorable moment of the breeding cycle. A second wide-angle camera on the same property shows a companion nest nearby.

The Village of Strzelce

Strzelce is a small rural village near Nałęczów, in the Puławy area of Lublin Voivodeship in southeastern Poland. The property's trimmed lawn, tree-lined borders, and garden gazebo sit amid the open farmland typical of this agricultural region.

White Storks in Poland

Poland is home to one of the world's largest populations of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia), a bird deeply woven into local folklore as a symbol of good fortune. These long-distance migrants travel thousands of kilometers between Europe and Africa each year.
