This nest has been an excellent breeding ground for this stork couple for several years. Animal kingdom Europe is very close, but these birds have chosen to build their nest on this pole. Train traffic rushes underneath and the birds are used to it. Also quite well protected because you can't get to it easily. But you can view the nest quite well from the Baroniehei and when the young are hatched you can regularly see the chicks sitting on the edge and with a bit of luck they will fly their first meters for the first time.

They have been there for years and nothing bothers them, not even when a heavy freight train thunders past underneath.

Every year this nest is occupied, it is very close to the zoo where storks are also. But this couple has chosen not to build a nest in the zoo but on the mast of the railway.
