    Thanks for your kind words! I'm still so sad and could cry all the time!

    Cathy, that's really beautiful, thanks for sharing! And I really feel like I had a special connection to him. Whenever I went out with my camera, there he was and let me take photos. My co-worker, who also tried to take pics but who always missed him, used to tease me that I was obviously having a special bond with him. All this makes it even harder now.

    Oh, that's so sad. I'm so sorry, Kirsten.

    Death thought about it.

    Oh no! It's so sad! I know what you feel, I hate when an inocent animal is hurt or killed and I am sad even if I do not know personally this animal. Don't pay attention to your collegue, she/he does not understand because she doesn't have your sensitivity and does not like much animals.

    RIP beautiful stork.

    I'm still very very sad. I see the empty nest when I'm at work, and its reflection is like a hole in my heart... The babies are also gone, I'm pretty sure. There was a bird of prey in the nest today, most likely eating the poor remains, and the female stork seems to have left the place where she lost her entire family. This is so sad!

    Well, a newspaper article confirmed today that the babies did not survive. A plane flew over the nest to take look inside, and they found it empty.

    I'm feeling so sorry for the female stork!!

    Let's hope the female will be more lucky in life, and that she will find a new partner.

    Well, it's most unlikely that the mom will find a new friend for this season. This summer, she will be alone. She may be back with another one next year, we'll see.

    moosmom, I don't know what happened to the body. I was wondering the same already...
