18 May 2017

Storks in the Moselle town of Sarallbe have become an internet sensation after authorities installed a webcam just above their nest.
The permanently running webcam receives up to 150,000 hits every day - with online visitors from Canada, the USA, Mexico and Japan all logging in to check on the progress of the two adults and their three young on a rooftop high above a busy street in the town.
Locals, too, appreciate the 'reality TV' story developing so close to home. One woman told broadcaster France 3 that she enjoys checking in on the baby storks.
