no need to take selfies...

Lacks sharpness, the sky is quite nicely done and the camera spoils the composition! Maybe not, it does give balance, but I said that because I don't like mixing nature with artificial stuff!

Cheers, Sam!

It must have been quite a feat to mount the camera up there! Gives people a chance to watch stork life!

Pierre,

thank you very much for your interest & input !

what about my idea, that 'nature' doesn't exist anymore.

that chimney & the camera are all man-made intrusions into 'nature', as you might like to understand that philosophical idea.

even the air around the storks is polluted with, often invisible, exhaust fumes from man's engines for transportation, heating & manufacturing.

the nest is made of branches of trees still standing, but the storks search for food in adjacent man-made meadows &, often canalized, streams.

since ages, storks have lived in symbiosis with Homo sapiens.

in several european countries, high-tension line pylons have extra platforms for stork nests constructed on them.

in farm yards, old wagon wheels on poles serve as stork nest bases. 

in europe, storks have nearly become extinct during the last century. they have been massively increased in numbers, thanks to breeding & let-them-fly-away-programmes in zoos all over western europe.

the EU pays certain african countries to enable storks to overwinter unharmed in their territories (in the bad old days, storks sometimes arrived back in europe with feathered hunters' arrows stuck to their bodies....)

male storks always come back to the same nest for many years - albeit often with different female mates (sounds familiar to certain human males?)

the image is sharp enough for me 80-years' young, albeit somewhat rheumy, eyes, fitted with reading spectacles ;-))

cheers !

dear Savas.,

yes, the installation of that webcam must have been done with a crane.

such a camera enables to record all the procedures of mating, egg-laying & hatching + flying trials of the chicks.

thanks very much for your interest!

cheers

Sam

Pierre,

here's a P. S. to my last comment.

The storks are not sitting on a chimney but on a church tower !

That is just as 'unnatural' as a chimney....

I'll add a picture to show you & others.

cheers

Sam
