The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is an iconic bird species, a symbol of migrating birds, the herald of the beginning of spring. Every year tens of thousands of people await its arrival, having become accustomed to its presence and nesting in their villages or towns. Unfortunately, storks are also frequent victims of electrocution – the electric shock that happens when they land/use the power line poles. To keep these risk to a minimum, we are replacing risky bare conductors with insulated ones on poles in the project area within the LIFE Danube Free Sky project in cooperation with the distribution energy company HEP. Special bird flight diverters are installed in cooperation with HEP and transmission company HOPS as a precaution against collisions with power lines. This allows our precious storks to safely return to their breeding sites each year and raise their chicks. This nest is located in the village of Kopačevo, next to the Kopački rit Nature Park. Previous nest, built by the pair, was placed on the crossarm of an electric pole and was surrounded by electric wires.  In order to secure safety for the pair and their nestlings, and since the old nest was in poor condition and there was risk of it collapsing, it was moved to new metal platform installed by project partner HEP away from electrical infrastructure. You can now watch this beautiful natural spectacle with us in real time online thanks to the LIFE Danube Free Sky project.
