First Early Stork Spotted in Bulgaria
March 3rd, 2007
The first stork for the year was spotted to hover over the village of Mikrevo, South-western Bulgaria on Monday, 26th February. According to ornithologists, the bird came a month earlier than usual because of the unusually warm weather.
The local people call the stork Parvan (in Bulgarian - The First) because every year it flies at least one week before the other birds. Until they come, Parvan is already “repairing” its nest.
