This picture was taken while going to the Areni village,Armenia from the moving bus which we travelled . We saw many of these nests on posts and the story behind it is below .
From late March to August every year, around 650 pairs of breeding white storks descend onto wetland-adjacent villages in Armenia, settling into numbered nests where they will hatch nestlings and teach the babies to feed. The storks common in worldwide folklore for bringing babies to families use Armenia as a stopover point to breed on their long journey south from western Europe to their winter grounds in Africa. At the same time, more than 1,000 families in those Armenian villages will take pen to paper and monitor the storks’ progress as part of a program called Nest Neighbors.
If you notice you can see the strokes and other birds on top of the post .
Have you seen anything like this before in any country ?
