A white stork and chicks nesting in Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, Portugal
White storks build nests on the stone spires and jagged cliffs of Portugal’s southwestern coast. The birds spend the winter in Africa but in spring and summer, can be found across Europe, laying eggs and rearing chicks. Near urban areas, they often make nests atop chimneys and other tall structures. But here in the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, the storks can use the towering stones in the landscape for suitable nesting sites.
