...Activity for the protection of black storks - Feja wrote in the YT Chat- that the Ozols nest has 2 storks. This year Ozols nest is inhabited. There are pictures of M. Strazds

I'm sad, because I can not watch it

I think that isn't Ozols nest.. the tree is not a oak.

12:03 I think it was the male who flew away - EDIT: it was the female

[Liz01]

12:31 a Raven He chased him away


12:33 the Raven is on the right.. Male is pretty cool- he is preening himself
12:34 The raven flew away

He is very calm. I saw it differently with Zile and Ozols. They were very upset, if an Raven or Buzzard was in sight.

Liz jau čatā vaicāja, vai šiem skaistuļiem vārdi netiks doti.... ;)

Sēžam ar Strazdu Māri, pusdienojam (braucām vienu ligzdu Kandavā glābt, bet nebija stārķu ligzda beigās. Toties es laikam redzēju melno stārķi lidojam, ko Mārim neaspēju nodot ), un ēdot mums ir tapuši vārdi putniem :P

Tēviņš2 - Kaupo (par godu vēsturiskai personai, kas nācis no konkrētā novada) un Mātīte2 paliek Gaja (dievietes vārds, kas personificē zemi) :P

GT: Male2 Kaupo (in honor of the historical person who came from a certain region) and the Lady2 remain Gaja (the name of the goddess who personifies the land)

Our Storks have names
Male - Kaupo, Female - Gaja. this a very nice names

Hello Liz,

could you capture a video of the incedence with the raven today? I was witness too, but could not save it. It was very much interesting because of the ravens calls which you rarely have a chance to hear in this way. I would very much like to show it to a birder friend.

BTW It wasn't not a cool reaction, in German ornithologists call the behaviour "Übersprungsverhalten" (displacement activity), which can be preening, pulling twigs on the nest or something else. It's nervous behaviour and does not seem to fit to the situation.

14:52 one of them flew away

could you capture a video of the incedence with the raven today?

Leonia, I will do it after my work

it was not a "Übersprungverhalten" .. That's the behavior in cats.not in birds!

14:58 was here and is away again
