A pair of storks

Every morning I ride my bike through the Vondelpark, one of the most popular parks in Amsterdam. Hundreds of other cyclists do the same thing every day. And every time I go through the park, I pass the storks nest. High up a pole they do their thing, not bothered by us humans.

As you can see, the female stork has come back and is now laying eggs or perhaps brooding. In a while the eggs will become young storks and eventually they will leave the nest when they are strong enough to fly long distances.
