Treia,
The lady is pretty, isn't she?

Yes, she's pretty, and looks a bit like Kergu too, so maybe they'll become a couple, or maybe they already are. However, Kergu has a better year than last year, and looks happier.

Hello Anne7 :hi:

Many thanks for report and the beautiful pictures!
Kergu took a lot of time today, which he spent in the nest.

Kergu watches someone, then sings his song.
It is not clear why he is singing.

13:30 a black stork ring 7153. Nurme!

Image

He looks at the nest and the surroundings.

Image

13:31 does ps on the nest edge.

He does not sing. This is not his nest. He knows the master of the house.
But he straightens the edge of the nest. :laugh:

13:42 The BS flies away.

Unfortunately, the microphone always fails just when things get exciting. It scratched particularly beautifully and loudly
while Nurme visited the nest.

Hello everyone :hi:

Nice that Nurme came to visit. :headroll:
He looks great.

Yes, Hulbi, Inspector Nurme not only thoroughly checked the nest, but also the surrounding area. :D

Nurme's arrival. 8-)

Is everything OK on the right?
Image

And how are things on the left?

Could it be that the transmitters are interfering with the microphone?
I am not a tech guru but it could be a plausible explanation. It usually scratches when Kergu is around as well.
