Will Lenny be returned to the nest? And if yes, will Tommy and Kelly recognize him? He must also do flying escercises now too.

July 15th
oooh... thank you, George


Good morning everybody

It's raining and raining and raining....

I know nothing more than has been told on forum, but afraid not.

.... and will be raining all day long by weather forecast.

.... and the date is is Jule 15th. :)

I don't think that Lenny will return to the nest, as it would be dangerous for the other two storklets if someone climbs up to the nest. They are too old now to be disturbed and they would try to fly away.

I suppose that Lenny is in a big aviary with contact to the nature. So he can do his exercises to fly. When time has come and he recovered he will be released and find his own way. I know this method from our blessed white storks in Germany. Hope he'll recover with the good help of Dr. Madis.

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Four years ago Urmas climbed up to the nest to give Mid a transmitter when she was 61 days old, but now the problem is that Lenny has been away too long and may be considered by others as an intruder.

"Two feet for two"

I totally agree with you, Andrea. And we should show more patience and respect for nature in Lenny's case. At first, his beak has to heal, otherwise he will not stay alive living on his own. And after that comes the time to think about how he will return to wildlife. There would be no good in hurrying only because we think he must learn to fly right now.

And for those from German speaking countries: have a look at those stations where hurt birds are medicated in Germany and in Austria. They have big aviarys where the birds are kept during their rehabilitation. I think Dr. Madis will start something like this with a clinic as well:

15:07 - Rain here also today. Tommy and Kelly are moving around the nest, picking for something to eat? A sound was heard from the forest, and getting their attention. I think it was Jays..

What a miserable sight..poor storklets. But I suppose more rain means more frogs and fish in the rivers and small lakes ?

July 16th


10:53 It was rather a small portion of food

Today, strict diet:

- 13:49 two frogs for lunch from Tiina





- and 13:59 two small frogs from Tiit






Maybe the fish hid in the depths?

I don't think that it would be a good idea to take Lenny back to the nest. He has no chance to survive the fly to the south get there enough food and fly back to estland.

Schorsch http://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/viewtopic.php?p=149421#p149421 went only from germany to spain and lived there at garbage dumps with plenty of food. And he was an expert in flying between this countries.

I'm relieved to see a few rays of sunshine on the nest today.

Yes, it's very nice

18:07 - Relaxing on one leg, in the sun:) I can't see who it is though. I must admit, I have to see the ring to see who it is..
