Latvian Black Storks - 2016

[Bea]

At the moment there is still no public pontu video and picture archive - but it will probably and hopefully change soon, as there is now stork activity on the nest

20:42 a tawny owl call near

[Trine]

20:40 The tawny owl is back.
20:55 The stork can be heard again (movements and voices). And so is the owl who is apparently approaching.
21:03 The stork gave a warning (I think) and the owl moved a bit farther.
21:09 Another tawny owl is joining in. It can be heard that the stork gets upset.

It is an interesting soundtrack but I´m feeling sorry for the birds being so upset...

Me too, Trine, for both species.

The female Tawny Owl sounds very agitated. She is sometimes closer, sometimes farther away. Poor thing.

[Birdfriend]

21:14 Tawny owl calls again. So much events only at one day!
21:23 Still nervous calls from tawny owl.

[Trine]

The female Tawny Owl sounds very agitated. She is sometimes closer, sometimes farther away. Poor thing.

She may have eggs waiting for her... and cooling.

[Birdfriend]

She may have eggs waiting for her... and cooling.

Most likely is it so. The time window is suitable.

[Michi]

21:50 The female Tawny Owl is still calling, nonstop about now more than 1 1/2 hours.
It would be very sad if she has to give up her clutch.

[Birdfriend]

Really, already for so long time? Yes, it would be sad.

[Michi]

Birdfriend, I'm sorry, I have to correct the time. I came in confusion with nest time and my time at home. The trouble began at about 19:15 nest time. This is almost 3 hours ago. :-(
Tawny Owl still calls ...

[Michi]

22:09 Suddenly a loud beak clacking of the stork!

22:10 Again ...

Rustling of feathers, loud breathing, sighing of the stork. There's no peace.

[Birdfriend]

22:09 Loud noises from the stork. I was really terrified. And then the tawny owl again.
Edit: Thank you, Michi, so is it still much longer, not good.

[Hellem]

22:24 The poor little tawny owl is anguished.
22:25 The BS is clattering beak again.

22:27 Tawny owl is calling farther now.

22:31 Again beak clattering.

[Birdfriend]

22:35 The tawny owls calling stopped.

[Birdfriend]

22:53 Female and male tawny owl are calling together now.

[Michi]

23:23 The Stork has wept for a second. Sounds like this ...
He cannot sleep. The Tawny Owl is still active ...

[Michi]

Beside of all circumstances in the evening I want to say thank you, Liz, for the videos of the Storks arrival!
It is wonderful to see the first Black Stork back at home and his first activities. It is amazing to see that he loses no time to restore the nest.

I imploringly hope, the situation with the Tawny Owl become calm. At the moment it seems that she has stopped her calling.
