From the year 2000, however, private initiatives also created nesting opportunities south of the Wiehengebirge to provide storks with new breeding sites.
The nesting aid in Tengern
In Tengern, a 12-metre-high nesting aid was erected from an oak trunk in 2010 to provide storks with a suitable breeding site. This measure was an important step towards attracting storks here too.
First successful brood in 2012
The first successful brood was recorded in Tengern in 2012. The young stork that emerged from this breeding attempt was given a ring by the Helgoland Ornithological Institute.
A stork on a long journey
In January 2014, this young stork was recognized in the Madrid region, 1,624 kilometers away from Tengern. This was an impressive demonstration of how far a stork can travel.
