So there may be eggs here, too, any day soon? The nesting season is here.

We hope so
From what I saw in Looduskalender BS, the first egg was "out" 6 days after they mate. I don't know if it is the usual time

Well, the moonlight is gorgeous, but it is not fullmoon.
The sharp black shadow of the Black Stork is like on other Black Stork. The real other Black Stork is sleeping on the comfortable nest which they builded the whole morning..

Hi, the view is magic, Bo! when it is 16:32 in Massachusets USA, it is in Estonia + 8h, 00:32.

I counted it with my fingers. I took one pic at 00:40 and the shadow on the Black Stork is in same position! (i have no program to make a part of a pic sharper..

Bociany and all
Your software is fantastic. The shadows effect is so funny, it seems that there are 2 BS there.
(16:32 in Boston its 21:32 in Portugal and 23:32 in Estonia )

At 7h30 UTC (Portuguese time until the next 3 weeks), wich are 9h30 in Estonia and 2h30 at your home, it was lot of fog and BS were not there.
It looks like that the eggs are already on their way, that the nest is almost ready to receive them and that they have other not less important things to take care as feeding them selves
Now we have to wait

BS arrived At 9h18 UTC.
And went directly to the nest where she stays with her head turned to the inside
