Thank you both for the great work.
I have been following the Looduskalender cameras since 2008.

For the first time I see adult black storks - (a pair without chicks in season); meets a strange young black stork.(3,16 Liz01 video) Very interesting behavior.
Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
