rocky river banks
Explanation:
Basically roquedos translates as a rocky place.
I'd think these birds would be building their nests on the rocks or boulders beside the river, on the river banks, so "rocky river bank" suits here

rocky outcrops on riversides


Explanation:
Not as neat as James´, which is definitely OK, but thought I´d put this in since it was the description of where the black storks nest that came into my head before reading the term to be translated!
