White storks and song thrush

On 27 June in the village, four white storks on the nest: two adults, two young.

From a village window, a song thrush.

This video says about itself:

A few minutes singing by a song thrush (Turdus philomelos) in Spring 2010, with a lot of unusual trilling and a few bits of mimicry (tawny owl and green woodpecker amongst them).

Portuguese white storks now rely on rubbish dumps instead of migrating: here.
