Abstract
The results of White Stork Ciconia ciconia study on monitoring plot (area of 100 km2, Volozhin district, Minsk Region) in 2004–2018 are analyzed: numbers, spatial distribution, breeding success and location of nests on different supports. Decrease of numbers, significant reduction of breeding success and grow the rate of using electric pylons for nesting are allowed to make an unfavourable prognosis for population.
