St. Pölten (OTS) – Storks and the Burgenland town of Rust on Lake Neusiedl: an inseparable connection, as is now impressively demonstrated again between mid-March and mid-April. The storks return to Europe from their winter quarters in Africa. In Rust they receive a particularly warm welcome: the Rust am See stork association prepares, cleans and repairs the nests year after year before the storks arrive. Through ecological landscape management on the lakeshore, he ensures that the white storks have a habitat that is as natural and protected as possible. For around 30 years, the association has also taken care of emergencies, injured storks and stork chicks that have fallen out of the nest. The “Land and People” team accompanies Rudi Karassowitsch, one of the chairmen of the stork association, as he looks after the nest and the storks and listens to the elegant birds chattering lively in the freshly made nest.
