Heron,

Where did you take these nice pics?

Are there storks in the neighbourhood of Westerbork?

Westerstork, I presume...

Thanks. The pictures were made in and near De Wijk (north-east of Meppel). There the storks can be found all over the place.
That is because people started a breeding program there in the seventies, called "De Lokkerij"
(http://www.delokkerij.nl/)

By coincidence all my posted pictures are made near De Lokkerij, but before that I made some in the neighbourhood.
It's just that these turned out better because the sun finally came out

Went today to the zoo. Nice weather, many people and nice animals.
Here they are:

@Heron,

I already thought so you made the pics @ De Wijk. My grandma lives overthere and I've been there once.
There are also some storks in the neighbourhood of Assen (Rhee, Oudemolen), maybe also near Westerbork or haven't you seen them there yet?
