Effect of Rubbish Dumps on Breeding Success in the White Stork in Southern Spain
@inproceedings{Tortosa2002EffectOR, title={Effect of Rubbish Dumps on Breeding Success in the White Stork in Southern Spain}, author={Francisco S. Tortosa and Juan M. Caballero and Joaqu{\'i}n L. Reyes‐L{\'o}pez}, year={2002} }
Abstract Rubbish dumps provide an extra and constant food source for many birds. The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is one of the species that have taken advantage of these new foraging areas both during breeding season and during the winter. This study analyzes data collected in the Spanish province of Cordoba throughout five years between 1992 and 1998 on the biology and breeding success of the White Stork and the influence of rubbish dumps. Breeding success varied significantly between years…

White Storks, Ciconia ciconia, forage on rubbish dumps in Poland—a novel behaviour in population
- Environmental ScienceEuropean Journal of Wildlife Research
- 2009
The increased frequency of observations during the summer months probably resulted from the greater nutritional needs of large nestlings which force the adults to find alternative food sources or foraging habitat shift by non-breeding birds.

Foraging of White Storks Ciconia ciconia on Rubbish Dumps on Non-Breeding Grounds
- Environmental Science
- 2010
White Stork foraging on rubbish dumps is a common behavior in northern Africa and the Middle East and appears related to the wintering of European White Storks in new areas closer to their breeding grounds.
Impact of Supplementary Feeding on Reproductive Success of White Storks
- Environmental SciencePloS one
- 2014
The data suggest that supplementary feeding increases fledgling populations which may be a tool to attenuate population losses caused by factors such as habitat deterioration or unfavorable conditions in wintering habitats.

Two-fold increase in White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) population in Lithuania: a consequence of changing agriculture?
- Environmental Science
- 2015
The census revealed that the White Stork population in Lithuania has doubled since the previous census in 1994, possibly due to favourable changes in farming practices, with birds increasingly settling on the overhead electricity line poles and gradually abandoning nests in trees.
Trophic Niche and Feeding Strategy of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) during different Phases of the Breeding Season
- Environmental Science
- 2015
The findings suggest that the White Stork performs a balance in order to satisfy its food requirements by compensating reciprocally between intake of prey numbers and their biomass regardless of the phenological stage of reproduction.

It is suggested that flock size could be the main cue used in foraging decisions by white storks and could be a simple rule for many other flock foraging species.
