Solo,these are animals in captivity

they are not able fly (wings diseased)

Still all the five white storklets from Makov fledged and will fly away.Now only the parents stay in the nest. I don't know about other birds though(herons, geese, swans). They appear near the nest every day and the swan watched ringing with great interest.

Still all the five white storklets from Makov fledged and will fly away.Now only the parents stay in the nest. I don't know about other birds though(herons, geese, swans). They appear near the nest every day and the swan watched ringing with great interest.

I wrote answer to topics "Pictures and Information about White Storks".

Öreg Rozmár - video about this goodbye visit probably https://youtu.be/1wvqKtE6Yjw - the first 22 min. ended with unexpected behavior ... she flew away and arrived second time (this time I observed and put screenshots to album)

to this behavior the zoologist wrote today on chat: He (Sára) does not like something down there, flattened, she can not be seen from below. (Perhaps they photographed she with telephoto lens, and she thought it was a gun.) "Nem tetszik neki valami odalent, lelapult, hogy ne lehessen alulról látni. (Talán fényképezték teleobjektívvel, és azt hitte fegyver.)"

16.52 Both Polish storklets are in the nest.
