From the opposite ice cream parlor, you can also watch the stork's nest.

Drama for the storks

- Old stork died in an accident

- Rescuing the young storks from the nest

- A parent stork alone on the empty nest

What happened:

On Friday, May 6th, 2022, a stork had an accident on the side of the road between Winsen and Oldau. A short time later, the stork caretaker, Gerhard Papenburg, can only find the dead stork. Due to the existing ring, the ring number determines that it is the stork from the nest in the chimney of the Zimmermann butcher's shop.

Now is the time to save the young storks. On the same afternoon, the Celle fire brigade can be alerted via the Winsen fire brigade with the turntable ladder and deployed. Unfortunately, only a small young stork was taken care of by the stork caretaker and brought to the NABU species protection center in Leiferde. He will be looked after professionally there and hopefully can grow up healthy. Shortly before being deployed to the nest, the parent stork had already thrown a weak chick out of the nest. But it was dead.

Without this short-term rescue operation, there would have been a risk that the young storks would have starved to death. Because at this age of the brood (approx. 3 weeks), an adult stork does not leave the nest because the young have to be protected and warmed. Now we only occasionally see the sad male stork on the nest. It was so promising this year with this stork location: - laborious removal of the nest that was too high - early occupation by the stork pair - breeding success and good care of the young storks despite a long drought.

The rearing could be followed very well via video camera on the internet of the municipality of Winsen. And now this drama!

However, the stork found a new partner fairly quickly.

This year there will again be a live stream from the stork's nest. We will accompany the storks every day from sunrise to sunset until they start their return journey in late summer.

You can watch the stream on our YouTube channel at the following link:
