likewise: no birds. it's raining hard, and waterdrops are clanging and banging on the nest and camera and microphone. it's funny: it sounds better than the day before...? maybe it's because there are some sounds now. the electronic hizzzing noise is still present though...

Stork nest is still empty - no wonder, lots of snow still on the ground. Storks have no way of finding frogs and fish with such a heavy snow cover. We have to wait a week or two before the first stork appears.

We are waiting for the arrival of storks, but the experience of last year raises the following questions to ask (I think that the answer can only Urmas):

1st Last year Padis not found a partner in the nest and before had only once reached the breeding success here. Will this year be willing to fly to the nest?

2nd If I remember correctly, last year Donna moved to another male in another nest. What is the probability that this year she will revert to her old nest?

3rd What is the probability that this year there will be young hatched before 2008?

Thanks Rachowiak, for your interest!
The questions are quite difficult to answer very exactly...
1. I don't know, but as here in edge of range, here is a shortage of females, every male should work well and be ready for to have a family. Think, Padis feels itself as owner of that nest.
2.Last year I only supposed so, actually I don't know for sure. But in the neighbouring nest appeared female after two years. We tagged that female, but unfortunately she perished in southern Sudan, near border to Congo DR.
3. Probability could be from zero to bingo!

Tomorrow I very hope to make online migration map public and then you could look by yourself, where they are!

Oh, we all are WAITING for the news... :nod: and hoping to see a family in this nest!

How is the weather conditions in the area? From the camera it seems there is still quite a lot of snow on the ground.

Good afternoon! Well, I have never seen a Black Stork, only at a picture, let alone so close! I'm very curious about it and almost can't wait. Thanks Urmas and Joosep for reinstalling the camera.
