Hundreds of Storks Descend on Belarusian Field in Pre-Migration Feast
A remarkable spectacle unfolded recently in a Belarusian field as a local tractor driver documented hundreds of white storks congregating during plowing operations. The video, shared by user 'Андрей Камисаров', shows the large flock of birds following the tractor, meticulously searching for food in the freshly tilled soil and adjacent stubble. The driver, visibly surprised, remarked in the video, 'I've never seen so many storks in my life!' This unusual gathering is believed to be related to the storks' pre-migration feeding, as they fatten up before their long journey south. Local residents commenting on the video noted the abundance of storks this year and discussed the traditional Belarusian names for the bird, 'busel' and 'bacyan', highlighting the cultural significance of these migratory birds.
