Storks have had plenty of offspring in Thuringia this year. The Naturschutzbund (Nabu) Thuringia announced on Tuesday in Jena that a total of 110 pairs of storks raised 230 young who fledged. This means that the stork population in the Free State has increased further - by 18 breeding pairs and 59 young birds compared to 2020. The large, black-and-white feathered birds are particularly at home in the Werra region in the Wartburg district.


Storks have had plenty of offspring in Thuringia this year.

The Naturschutzbund (Nabu) Thuringia announced on Tuesday in Jena that a total of 110 pairs of storks raised 230 young who fledged.

This means that the stork population in the Free State has increased further - by 18 breeding pairs and 59 young birds compared to 2020.

The large, black-and-white feathered birds are particularly at home in the Werra region in the Wartburg district.

Jena - Nabu stork expert Klaus Schmidt spoke of a record year.

The retrofitting of certain electricity pylons, which could be dangerous to the birds, with bird protection fittings had a positive effect.

The age of the storks will be extended as a result.

But the preservation and improvement of biotopes as well as the construction of further nesting bases have contributed to the positive trend, says Schmidt.

Many people have volunteered for this.

As stork villages - at least five occupied nests are required - are so far in Thuringia Breitungen and Berka in the Werraaue.

This year, these places had seven pairs with 16 young and eight pairs with 17 young storks.

In addition to the Wartburg district with a total of 38 nesting nests, the districts of Schmalkalden-Meiningen with 16, Gotha with 14 and Sömmerda with 9 nesting sites were among the regions in which waders are more common.

In the meantime, many storks have left Thuringia for warmer climes.

The Free State lies in the border area between the populations moving westward and the populations moving south-east across the Balkans, the expert explained.
