Many thanks, Urmas and the whole team!

23:28 What happened , since 23:24 the storklets are alarmed
23:29 They are quiet

[Crissy]

That was really interesting. I didnt hear anything but dog barking before storklets were upset. It looked like one of the storklets woke up from a bad dream and scared everyone else too
At 23:26:50 and 23:27,28,29 storklets are pecking the nest surface, maybe something eatable was moving around is that the sound they usually do when parent is feeding them?

Thank you, Hellem for noticing

[Michi]

Hello Hellem and Crissy,
thank you for the info and the video!
I think, a parent has arrived at nest. Maybe he is in the old nest. The storklets had made the same sounds they do when a parent comes. A lot of twittering ... But no alarm calls.

A bit strange is, that the storklets for such a long time - in a circle - pecked or searched on the nest ground, - like they do it, when they look for leftovers after a feeding. But there wasn’t a feeding.

Now it came to my mind, that I haven‘t heard big wings before the storklets woke up. I‘ll scroll back the stream a little, and listen, if there is something.

Thank you all very much for todays reports and pictures!

Edit:
It was surely not the arrival of a parent, that the storklets waked up. No sound of big wings. There was only a good minute before they woke up, at 23:23:10, a single sound. Like a muted knock on wood, very near. On the curved branch?
Crissy, after all I think you‘re right. It was maybe only a dream, that one storklet had, and it waked up the other two. They hoped they get fed, but in vain.

Good Morning everyone

thanks a lot for reporting and pictures

23:28 What happened:puzzled: , since 23:24 the storklets are alarmed:slap:
23:29 They are quiet

No alarm, they tell each other about the frogs and fish
It may be that a parent has arrived and landed nearby in the tree.
They chirp and are in a begging posture. They are poking in the nest bowl.
They do that for no particular reason. I also see it on other nests

EDIT: It is very early .. I can see it now. Crissy and Michi have interpreted it correctly. Next time, I'll read all posts before answering

Good morning all

Looduskalender has new post https://www.looduskalender.ee/n/node/3584

In english:

Urmas Sellis went to the pit. The camera signal transmitter had changed direction in stormy weather, which was corrected. Fortunately, the tree to which the peak sender was attached was not broken. Even the wires hadn't to be repaired.
Because there is good reason to write today, tomorrow storklets will be month old because the three young chicks hatched all on May 16th.

Happy one month, dear marshmallows
