✨ Found online

Massive white stork nests built on high-voltage power towers and railway catenaries are a famous sight along the Ebro River valley and train lines just outside Zaragoza, Spain.

Address: La Cartuja Baja and El Burgo de Ebro corridor, Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain

What To Know: Milder winters and abundant food from local landfills have led many white storks to reside here year-round rather than migrating. Their nests on utility pylons can weigh up to 300 kg, frequently requiring careful intervention by railway and power grid operators.
