[Solo]

... 19:04 The lonely stork, rests. Still or already again? ...

Biker, nice shot

still rests

[Solo]

tired, more tired, most tired






I saw also preening and short nest restoration

[Solo]

so handsome and still alone


it is raining

[Solo]

very short calling

[asteria]

If he doesn't find a couple, he will leave at the beginning of May and will visit the nest only sometimes. There was a "bachelor" season in BS nest in 2009.

[Biker]

Aha. Thanks, Solo.

Nice motif = nice screenshot

asteria,
unfortunately, we know this situation from recent years also on streamed Latvian black storks nests
as experts write - there is a shortage of females on the northern border of the spread of black storks

[Solo]

rain is over, stork ruffled his feathers and shook the water drops (also sneezed )

[Solo]

after long resting now he works and works



(and pooped a lot )

he worked mainly with the outer edge of the nest and tried to incorporate live twigs as well



everything is on the right place - night rest is coming

Good Morning!

...or is the time correct at all? i can't see it proper.

Hello evryone

Good morning Biker :-)

... 5:12 ...or is the time correct at all? i can't see it proper. ...

time is rarely possible to read accurately - the contrast is very low (often I do not even write it, usually it is only approximate)

another busy day started - our male brought thin complicated branches and moss (more times)

[Solo]

resting after - today only few - nest restoration


our male stand up, ruffled his feathers, looked around and flew away at 07:09:01

[Solo]

he returned a few more times

this time arrived with both nest materials - twig + moss


placing everything correctly is not always easy


probably only once flew in calling

[Solo]

handsome and lonely




before 9h stork flew away

[Solo]

the dry branch - yesterday in the dark

[Solo]

10:39:46 he is back - calls
preening, stork fluffed the moss and settled down (it is windy)



our male stood up, looked around and flew out at 10:57:32

[Solo]

after one hour stork loudly calling arrived to the nest (11:50) - not long



and settled down

12:28 stand up, preening, ruffled his feathers, he looked around
and at 12:24 flew out

12:31:25 (approx.) and next we can hear the call (stork is probably not far)

[Biker]

12:40

blue tit with soft nest material

[Solo]
