A good group of storks have spent the night in Les Masies de Voltregà, Osona region. In the morning they began the journey again in their migration towards the north, as we see in these photographs in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos.
In the images we can see them in the countryside and, when they take flight, with the Collsacabra in the background and, although it is far away, the freezing fog can be observed.
The name Collsacabra comes from the jurisdictional term of the Cabrera castle, also called Cabrerès. It is a humid wooded area, populated mainly by beech, oak, holm oak, birch and fir trees in the northern area. This is an area protected by the Plan for Areas of Natural Interest (PEIN) of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
In another photograph you can see the Cabrera sanctuary (it is located on a cliff in the heart of Collsacabra, very close to the town of Cantonigrós) and, in another snapshot, we see the Coll de Bac.
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large species of bird. Its plumage is mostly white with black on the wings. And the legs and beak of adults acquire a red color. It measures an average of 100 and 115 cm from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail, and its wings can reach a span between 155 and 215 cm.
