Black Stork Nest in Karula - 2016

[noli]

The left side is more similar, than the right side.

Hello aita
I agree - their left sides are very similar...
So we can wait until 715R show us its right eye...

[Jo UK]

Thank you all for your efforts.. I think we have to wait for DNA results. I will amend the page 1 record to say "an adult" was ringed and tagged.

Hello all together !


I think it is Karl who got ringed.


And relating to the branches near the nest ... don't you remember this fotography of Jaanus Libek ?



You can see, they have quite some possibilities to jump on different branches

One storklet fledged! It is out from the nest in one of the neighboured trees

It first flew to a tree in the straight background and then turned and is now somewhere right side ....

Empty nest, today they are 63 days old

And the second is away!



It followed its sibling

[baska]

WOW !
I got Kalli's departure

[Birdfriend]

18:23 Now, both outside from the cam view.
Maybe, the difficult conditions in the last days have made, that these storklets fast fledged.

[baska]

18:23 Now, both outside from the cam view.

Not only outside of cam view. Kalli flew completely off !

i hear wing flapping
18:30:58 again wing flapping
18:33:29 a loud noise, like a bang

[Anne7]

WOW, they fledged! Good luck!
Hopefully we'll see them often back on the nest, for some time ...

[baska]

In the future they should install cameras with motion detector who follows the motion !

Kulla must still be very nearby. I am hearing repeated wing flapping, too.


edit:
they must be flying around the tree

[Liz01]

i can hear, that one Storklet fly
good luck and good flight back to the nest

[Solo]

great news
the chicks fledge at 63 to 71 days, another expert wrote 65 - 70 is the average for maiden flight
zoologist (not ornitologist) wrote (chat Gemenc nest in HU), they are only on nearby branches (trees) - Baska wrote too -, feeding is on nest

Our storklets are exactly 9 weeks old today! 63 days. That's early but ok!
