Stork and Worm: Earthworms are one of the storks' most important foods. As soon as the amphibians become active, there are also plenty of big bites, but until then a stork has to make do with small bites....
Earthworms are even essential for newly hatched storks. In years when the ground is too dry and hard, this can lead to the loss of the brood.
I'm making an exception to my own rule of not photographing and posting photos of captive birds. But this Senegal parrot (Poicephalus senegalus 🇩🇪 Mohrenkopfpapagei, 🇵🇱 afrykanka żółtobrzucha) was eating a wallnut with such agility that I could not stop myself.
Eine Handvoll Erdnüsse gibt es hier seit Herbst täglich. Ich beobachte den Raub sehr oft und habe ihn heute (mit meinem 37 Jahre alten Tele) fotografiert.
Die beiden Bilder erklären warum ich Elstern mehr mag. 😍
