More info: The webcam is located on top of the church tower, in Madrigal de las Altas Torres in Castile and León. As well as showing the daily lives of the nesting storks, the webcam gives views of the beautiful surrounding landscape and sunrises and sunsets over the Morañega Plain.
The stork nest is on one of the towers of the Gothic-Mudejar Church of San Nicolás de Bari which houses the font where Queen Isabella was baptised. This church was also the setting for the marriage between Isabella’s parents, John II of Castile and Isabella of Portugal, in 1447.
The white stork has altered its migration over the past few decades due to the global changes resulting from human behaviour, which have provided the stork with new habitats in which it can feed during the winter. Adult white storks now overwinter in Spain, mainly feeding from rubbish dumps and rice fields, while their young continue to migrate to the Sahel, thousands of kilometres away from their nests
