Post by **Olga** » March 6th, 2009, 9:49 am

Good morning!

Both Black Storks were on the nest at dawn. They have been active, coming and going, the nest building is progressing.

Good evening! I have returned in front of PC!

at 18:13 (at 16:13 in Portugal)the other one returned on the nest. I think I saw two BSs, but propably I'm wrong.. I have read the posts in Portugal, and understood that from the morning till early afternoon BSs were very active, carried materials to the nest and contructed it. i Have to check my folders what my automat fraps has taken

later..

just for the moment at 18:16 there is the other BS seen on the edge of rock.

edit: 18:26 (16:26) the BS flew away!

Both Black Storks are now on the nest. The first one returned at 19:52 and the second two minutes later 19:54.

The other one is hiding in the corner!

The other one arranges the nest, gathers twigs.. Some times they are side by side on the nest.

Later, - they were moving in and out, arranging, showing the white underweathers, but then also the other one went behind the corner. Now, at 20:30 it is quiet. They have Black Storks secrets they share

It's calm, other birds seems to fly over the view, they do not care...

Well, it's ok! We can learn later, 'tomorrow'!

I guess someone has taken a video of the moment, all will be able to see it!

The mating took about one minute, hm.. I don't know

, but not only 7 seconds. I was so upset.. could not behave reasonably.

(but the time-numbers are not 'right'.. I took the pics from the video

I just add some pics more from the video. ( I do not care that the pictures are blurred, it was so dark already, and we know how beautiful Balck Storks are

Yes, they mated!

Your pictures are very interesting.

I also took pictures from a video but they are equal, so it is not worth putting them here
For now, I can't put the video in the YouTube because it's very big

Post by **macdoum** » March 6th, 2009, 11:40 pm

Do the Storks mate several times ?
I should know this but don't remember.
Can someone tell us please ?
I mean in the same reproductive year.(edit)

Do you mean that you do not have time enough, or that the youtube can't process it.. Anyway, you may put it later! There is no hurry.. And some times it is usefull to put a long video in two- three parts (quite often I have 'no time' to wath one 10 minute's intersting video, but I watch ten one minute's videos very likely.. it's funny..

Tomorrow will be an exiting day!

Since early in the morning activities. BSs left the nest for first time at 08:30 and 08:43. Coming and flying back and worth, nest building all the time. What huge new branches on the nest. Lot of moss. Portuguese Black Storks have a work day!

Hello all
BS woke up at 6:20 UTC, the first one left a 6:30 UTC and the second at 6:43. Since then, one (or both, impossible to say) is coming and going with branches and moss for the nest.

It's really a battle to make a nest

The 1st departure of the second BS

Post by **Olga** » March 7th, 2009, 9:50 am
