Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Storks??

I saw large white birds flying in the distance on March 1st.

Now, they might have been herons, but they did look remarkably like storks to me.

Seeing storks is one of the things I like about living in Poland. We're right on their flight path in Poland - and I have a marsh just down the road.

I haven't seen any this year, yet. Will look out this week.

Re: Storks??

The white storks are fiendishly camouflaged in the snow.

Re: Storks??

We saw our first storks yesterday. Two in a village just north of Wroclaw.

Re: Storks??

the cranes are back ...

the ones with the loud, trumpeting calls ... the ones that wake up at day-break, full of the joys of life ...

Re: Storks??

Speaking of cranes. Have you ever tried to get a photo of them. Extremely difficult. Very timid.

Re: Storks??

no - i only had my phone with me and they (x4) were about 20m away on a ploughed field. no chance of them standing out as they were black/grey.
bl88dy big things, though - would intimidate a stork any day

Re: Storks??

20m is pretty close. The cranes I've seen have always been in the far distance. Nice birds.

Re: Storks??

must admit i've grown to dislike their trumpeting calls ... especially the joyously loud version outside my window at 4am in the morning around may/june time.

Re: Storks??

ain't much better in England - and my brother is going to Whitby for the weekend. Brrr-rr. Even Dracula's reported to have been seen getting back in his coffin to keep warm!

(The ship he was being transported in was wrecked just outside Whitby)
