That is beautiful, Bubo, thank you. Great pictures and more problems, because I see no difference with the eye of Tiina on my picture :dunno:

these white points make it very easy to identify tiina.
it would be nice if we could find such a signification also for tiit.

I'm so happy. we can watch storks again this year.

From me, too, some pics of Tiina, yesterday the 22nd April. There is seen her eye decoration and the white spots close to the left shoulder, and perhaps something else too! ( yesterday I thought that I am adding too many pics here..)

Here in this picture her eyes are not wholly open her, I think.

Sometimes the white underfeathers on her neck, in front of it, are seen, too. Perhaps she has been fishing and the black feathers were wet.. 8-)

edit: two pics more from yesterday afternoon:

I noticed the third difference - Tiina has a different shape of red mask - between eye and beak she has clearly visible tip of the triangle pointing upwards.

Who is on the nest for the moment? I guess it is Tiina?? I think there is seen a hint of the white spots on the left.

I am finding it easier to see the differences in the beaks.

Tiina to the stem. Now I saw it clearly and I have pictures, the eyes of Tiit are not connected to the red of the beak and with Tiina the red of the eye "goes" into the red of the beak, no black between it.

Yes JoUK, beaks is easier somewhat: Tiina's upper beak is all orange, while Tiit's beak is blackish in the middle.

From Jo´s summary:

"The first egg was seen on April 9th. followed by two more at two day intervals"

Thank you, Bubo! Now I see that I had said Tiit to be Tiina on my previous post! :blush: I removed it from there! It is this, from yesterday. I took it after they had mated, and it was Tiina then who flew on the branch.

Tiit:

Here is video of a mating, also yesterday (I don't know the exact time of this mating) - hm.. anyway, on the video one can see very well their differencies.

Previously I had assumed the shape of the mask is important, but it probably depends on the emotional state of a stork. Now I think I've found good feature. Look at the photograph - on the left is Tiit, on right - Tiina. Of course, also need to watch the white spots on the Tiina's back.

Thank you for all the posts about the eyes .... very very helpful!

(I think Tiina's left eye looks like Tiit's right eye, and vice versa :rolleyes: )
