"In Portugal stork numbers have increased dramatically following legal protection granted to them in the '80s. Although originally migratory, there are many that now no longer make the arduous journey south and instead over-winter in Portugal; this is being attributed to Climate Change."
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large bird in the stork family, Ciconiidae. Its plumage is mainly white, with black on the bird's wings. Adults have long red legs and long pointed red beaks, and measure on average 100–115 cm (39–45 in) from beak tip to end of tail, with a 155–215 cm (61–85 in) wingspan."
