Elena Del Val an amateur from Madrid observed on January 7 a White Stork carrying a black ring with a 50 as a code at the landfill of Pinto (Madrid). The Stork was born in the nest of Atxaga (Forua) in 2011, is the third time it is observed in this landfill. We do not know if it use as a wintering area or simply as a resting and feeding point during their migration.
