Others are OK, only Tawny Owl and this one don't work. There is nothing to watch here yet though.

Thank you Liz that you trust me to be able to climb trees and install cams
But the thanks should go in this case to Renno! I have merely provided the topic for observation, I think this is far less dangerous and less brave than what our eaglemen in Estonia do for putting up cameras!

Moss vanished somewhere.

If Tiina arrived last year already in the end of March - I doubt she could be here by now this year. And even if this is a perfect nest location for any stork family - it will perhaps be unused this year, too. But - we never know - I wish some other stork will find this excellent nest and show us some of beautiful life of black storks!

Great! What do You think was it Tiina or new male from last year?

After more-less clearing the lens it reveals there is no new moss in the nest. If BS visit again shortly the nest during next weeks then they have most probably new or another nest somewhere. I try to go and scope the area to find them flying around somewhere.

Oooh .... How great is this? A Black Stork on the nest!

Thank you, Summi, for telling us, thank you, Bea, for pictures and the video!
I'm so happy about this visit. Hopefully it was not the last one.

Edit:
I'm quite sure it was not Tiina. As I'm not at home at the moment I will compare pictures of the male from last year with the visitor in the evening.

[Mutikluti]

Good afternoon!

I'm very glad to see a stork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that it's Tiina. This new stork didn't like to sit on this branch. Tiina and Tiit used this place.

[Owlie]

Wonderful!
Could it have been Tiina? Who ever, I hope there will be a family this season in this nest, why should they leave this excellent nest site unused?

[Bea]

18:45 - The lense is nearly completely dry now

[Felis silvestris]

Thanks, Renno, great that you keep us updated.

[asteria]

It was a female stork with red legs and beak. If she stays here at night, it is Tiina.

[Olga]

Welcome home, Tiina!! You are as well welcome even if you are someone else!! Great!
