In the Burgenland town of Rust, 26 breeding pairs are raising 70 young storks this summer.

All nests were counted, and even in the tree nest that the birds built themselves last year, two chicks were spotted, explained Igor Smrtnik, chairman of the Rust Stork Association, to the APA. After the record year of 2024, when 86 young storks were celebrated, this year is an "average" one.

Enough Food for Storks

The animals currently find enough food. The wet and cold weather last Sunday did not harm the young ones, as they are now already big enough. It could only be problematic for a few latecomers, according to Smrtnik: "It is not as optimal as last year." An extremely late stork pair is just now beginning to build a nest and gather materials, said the association chairman.
