Hundreds of storks surround a truck at a landfill in the outskirts of Pinto near Madrid on July 14, 2022. What was only a stopover in their migration has become their destination. More and more storks are stopping in Spain, where they find abundant food in landfills. This allows them to avoid a dangerous crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar between the southern tip of Spain and northern Africa. A mere 14 kilometres above the sea, but very demanding because of the strong winds. (Photo by Pierre-Philippe Marcou/AFP Photo)
