Poor Mrs Stork, she didn't half persevere. Sad to see the eggs still sitting there. I wonder if we'll get a different pair next year. Not sure I can go through the agonising 'will they, won't they hatch' again 😞

And I know I'm glass completely flipping empty but I've never seen Victor on the vulture cam since the rather sinister footage, which has now been removed 😳

Yes Debz - I always tried to avoid looking at poor Mr & Mrs Stork and their 4 eggs and seeing them looking so dejected and bemused so I am glad if she has decided to give up - poor thing, sitting there for months and wondering why her babies didnt arrive - I am filling up now As as for poor Victor - I saw that footage as well and it was not a pretty sight. I think I am just too 'soft' for this wild life in the raw footage and will stick to the Alaro square in future - nothing upsetting there

El pollo de Son Pons ya no es un pollo. Al margen de su evolución física, evidente en la foto, hemos comprobado que sigue un ritmo de desarrollo normal. Hace unos días fue trasladado por Jorge y Juan José a otra dependencia y pudimos ver que vuela por sí mismo y que come solo perfectamente, sin la ayuda de los padres. Su futuro en libertad está en Andalucía. Por cierto, continua sin nombre a la espera de que alguien se anime a apadrinarlo.

The chicken of are pons is no longer a chicken. On the sidelines of its evolution physics, evident in the picture, we have seen that follows a pace of development normal. A few days ago was transferred by Jorge and Juan José to another dependence and were able to see who flies for yourself and you eat just perfectly, without the help of the parents. Your future in freedom is in Andalusia. By the way, continues with no name waiting for someone to encourage apadrinarlo.

The poll of Son Pons is no longer a louse. In addition to their physical evolution, which is evident in the photo, we have seen that follows a rhythm of normal development. Jorge and Juan José on leave a few days ago in another dependency and we were able to see that fly by himself and he eats alone, without the help of parents. Your future in freedom is in Andalusia. By the way, still nameless waiting for someone eager to sponsor it.

Hello friends s. Our esteemed Toni Malaga has dropped by Son Pons and has taken these spectacular images of 'chicken' griffon vulture, born on April 13 in our facilities. We continue to look godmothers and / or sponsors for their 'baptism' and to contribute in the process of liberation, to be held soon in the mountains of Andalusia.

Although it was well known that the storks eggs were doomed to fail I have continued to dip into the web cam page every now and again. Although the birds are still using the nest they are hardly ever seen during the daytime. However, it's fascinated me how the four eggs have remained intact during the last 5-6 months, still occupying the centre of the nest. I would have thought that by now some eagle type scavenger would have attacked the nest for the eggs. Today, though, only two eggs are visible, and these are in a very precarious position at the edge of the nest. Whether they've been placed there by the storks or not I have no idea. Sad ending, of course, but nature is such an interesting subject. Let's hope for bitterness next year

The storks are back on the nest , let's hope they have better luck this year .

That was quick, last time I looked the nest was covered in 2 inches of snow!

[Sparky]

Yes i said the same thing to Colin .

[debz1]

Me too..when I last looked it was covered in snow. Oh crikey will we be able to stand the stress

I went to Nuremberg in December for the Christmas markets, and one day our friends arranged a train journey to Rottenburg. I was so excited and was saying 'we'll be able to look for the storks'. It was only when we got there that the penny dropped the storks are in a Rottenbach. Well it was an easy mistake

Yes Mike that's the one. Very very pretty place. If only I'd known about the storks I'd would have gone a-hunting instead of spending a fortune on Christmas decorations and drinking Gluwein
