An unusual love drama unfolded in a stork nest in the small Saxon town of Mügeln (district of North Saxony) after a pair of storks returned from their summer quarters at the end of last month. "After three days, when they had already settled in, a foreign stork arrived - there were scuffles - and our old stork was unfortunately chased away," said Hans-Jürgen Höhne, chairman of the Mogelin local history association.
The origin of the new bird is particularly noteworthy: it is a ringed stork - an animal with a small metal ring on its leg, which can be used to trace its origin. The ring shows: The stork comes from Lake Constance - around 600 kilometers away. "We were surprised that this stork came to us from so far away," Höhne continued.
