We have followed the lives of Black Storks in this nest since 2007
First, on another forum

Then in 2008 and 2009 (no storks nested there last year :cry:

)

The summary of 2008 season is here

We don't yet know what 2010 has in store for us, but oh!, how we hope :loveshower:

Storkaholics feel better already :gathering:

Thank you Urmas and all of you who have helped this cam to work again! The new season has begun :loveshower:

I know the whole world is now full of hope that everything goes on well. The last winter has been so hard :faint:

May this new spring and the next summer be good for Black storks! :bow:

A month ago I supposed two things may happen this season:
1. it will be Toomas again to arrive in the nest first;
2. the nest may become "two storeyed".

And what do you think?

Jo UK · **Posted:** April 1st, 2010, 7:48 pm

I am no good at guessing! :laugh:

Why do you think there will be a second storey?

Kuremari · **Posted:** April 1st, 2010, 7:49 pm

well, i wish to see Donna and Padis! that would be the most, most, ever, ever dream come true!

but....i will be completely happy - if any Black Stork couple will choose this nest for their home

Olga · **Posted:** April 1st, 2010, 8:23 pm

Kuremari said just the same what I thought, I could not say it aloud.
We do not know yet how far or close Black storks are. From where to get patience.. :laugh:

Kristi · **Posted:** April 1st, 2010, 8:26 pm

Oh` my god. It really works, not a joke :loveshower:

Thank you Urmas and Joosep :bow:

Congratulation to all storkaholicks from previous years and to all new storkaholicks!
THANK YOU URMAS AND ALL TEAM!

Today we with Joosep used fine weather to install Black Stork nest cam.
Last year we had two cameras on the nest, but now there is one - to secure power sufficiency for streaming. Two cameras need twice energy, but our batteries in forest are not very fresh already... Nevertheless, the camera is the newest possible from Mobotix producers store at the moment - we will see if that gives also better quality.
The snow in forest is quite deep over rubber boots and in lower places there is water under snow (the ground is frozen), but the fields are almost clean. Yesterday (probably) first BS was observed in SE Estonia, near Latvian border.

The migration map for our tagged birds will open in Monday - by current data no one of these birds are in Estonia, but Oss and Valdur are not far.

Kuremari · **Posted:** April 1st, 2010, 8:44 pm

thanks Urmas!
so we need some patience here, but we are so good at it, no problem

Thank you for good news. When I've read Looduskalender (if I can read Estonian :dunno:

) I'd thought it was joke. But in WMP I'd checked - no, it's true!!! :bow:

I hope in this season will any technical problems and ... our storks in this year will reach success.

Have you any news about Miss Little and Miss Big (about young storks from 2008 season too)? :?:

Because last year the nest remained unchanged, all the moss and grass are still there and Padis may decide that he must bring some fresh building materials and put them on the old nest as a second layer.

For Storkaholics is the first of April a remarkable day...two years ago Donna arrived in the first of April and today began our cam to work, it's the same date :rolleyes:

...I am so happy!!! :headroll:

Thanks to Urmas, Joosep and to all who to contributed so that we can see these beautiful birds!!!

This is the best news I've got today! :loveshower:

Thank you, Urmas and Joosep! :bow:

I so hope we will have a nice family there. :nod:
