Short Description:

The White Stork is a large bird with a distinctive appearance characterized by a white body, black flight feathers, and a long, straight bill. It has long legs, typically reddish or orange in color, and a wingspan that can reach up to 2.3 meters (7.5 feet). During flight, its neck is extended, and its legs trail behind, giving it an elegant and soaring appearance.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

White Stork is primarily observed during its migration periods, which occur during the spring and autumn. While it does not breed in Pakistan, it passes through the country en route to and from its breeding grounds in Europe and Asia, as well as its wintering grounds in Africa.

White Storks are highly migratory birds, traveling thousands of kilometers each year between their breeding and wintering grounds. During migration, they form large flocks, soaring high in the sky using thermal currents to aid their flight. They are skilled gliders and can cover vast distances with minimal effort.
