Description
White Storks make the rounds. The legend that the European White Stork brings babies is believed to have originated in northern Germany, perhaps because they arrived back in Europe on fairly predictable dates and almost exactly 9 months after the previous mid-summer. Northern Europeans of Teutonic ancestry encouraged storks to nest on their homes hoping they would bring fertility and prosperity.
The overall population of White Storks has declined steadily over the last half century. The decline in Western Europe has been the most pronounced. Pollution, pesticides and wetlands drainage have severely reduced suitable foraging habitat across the breeding range.
Rendered in Poser Pro with no Postwork. Models: M4/V4 (DAZ), Le Village (Faveral), Bundle of joy/Stork (me). The "Bundle of Joy" will be a freebie on my website
