The church tower - an unanswered question

When I was walking around, I noticed that there was a huge nest on the peak of the church tower roof. I couldn't imagine what kind of bird would be able to make such a big nest. When I looked a little closer, it seemed like the nest was actually an artificial one, because there were wires holding it in place.

I never did ask Wendy or Uwe what it meant...maybe they'll post a comment explaining it to us.

Could it be a fake stork nest (for whatever reason?)? Karen A.

It's a stork's nest. Many villages in Europe have them on public buildings. Storks are a protected species and much loved by Europeans.
