It's wonderful that when the landlord arrives home from work, his sweetheart is there to greet him happily.

Very interesting evening yesterday

To celebrate the 110th birthday of Estonian nature conservation, short videos were made about Estonian national parks (voice-over in Estonian). The video about Karula national park includes a 30 second clip, where you can see the black stork camera nest and Urmas and Ain fixing the GPS transmitter on one of the storklets.

The part about black storks begins at 3:10

18:16 Karl II flies to the right. He looked around beforehand and clattered his beak slightly. Is he looking for the female?

In 2019, Kaupo & Gaja (Latvia), who also did not breed that year, were still mating in June.

Then we are happy about the young happiness.

19:50 little princess is home? Nest work



It looks like she's shaking the pillows on the sofa at home


The nest material is now loosened up nicely.

The female is resting well now.
It's nice to see how calm the female can now be alone in the nest. At first she didn't like being alone in the nest.
