Urbanizacion for storks

Storks – cigüeñas in Spanish – are a common sight in Andalucia, and indeed over in Morocco. Ecija, a town in Seville province, usually has a nest on the steeple of each of its many churches, and the chimneys of many ordinary houses have one too. Storks don’t seem to like the Alpujarra, though – you always see them on the plains so I guess they don't like mountains, and we don’t get them up in Juviles, unfortunately. This shot, of a stork housing complex somewhere in Extremadura, was on the excellent http://www.iberianature.com/, but as they themselves nicked it from El País, I'm sure they won't mind my borrowing it.
