Black Stork Nest in Karula 2019

[Liz01]

......I was thinking when it would be right time to choose a name for our male stork? He is really charming and delightful and has proved that many times :) .............

Crissy, that's a good idea

[Anne7]

Crissy, that's a good idea

I agree.

13:36 The male came home


13:52 He preens Kati


14:02 Kati doesn't leave, she prefers to stay in her soft bed

[Anne7]

They changed places.
14:16 Kati preens the male.


15:14 The male leaves

15:17 The male comes IN with moss


15:18 The male flies out.
(I fear he is on his way to buy 6 little cradles. He tends to exaggerate a bit in everything he does. )

[Anne7]

16:01 Kati


16:40


16:50 The male arrives

16:52 Kati leaves. She must be hungry.

The male covers the eggs.

I have to go

[Retari]

Crissy, that's a good idea

Yes, this hardworking and handsome gentleman needs a name, I suggest Paulus or Vello

[Katerina]

another version of the name - Carlito (Karlito)

[Crissy]

16:01 Kati
16:40
16:50 The male arrives
16:52 Kati leaves. She must be hungry.
The male covers the eggs.

Anne i will continue from where you left off

18.57 Kati returned
18.58 mating
19.00 male left and has not yet returned (its already dark, but forest is very alive by the voices =)

21.29.10 what was that sound? a shot?
22.18 male arrived home, both singing happy song (can they fly and see in the dark? )

Good night

[aquiline]

I think the name should begin with "K" and it should remind us of our dear Karl

I found "Kalev" - this is my proposal

[Caro]

I suggest "KROIT"

[Rauntz]

Indeed male came home 22:18, very interesting because it was totally dark.
"Kalev" has night vision

You can hear dogs barking all the time, so this place is not far from people.

[HelenL44]

Here is a "K" name which means eager to please: Keen

April 17

Good morning everybody

06:00 Kati still cuddles in the cozy nest,
while the hard working "Man" is already busy at work outside


Kati up in her royal residence looking at her precious 3 eggs


here comes the diligent male,
one could see him flying in between the trees in a loop to the nest

[balistar]

graceful landing with a cargo of soft material (something like hay ?)


that's what I call a beak full


after the out house work, now comes the pleasant homey one

[aistera]

Good morning, everybody,
I agree the very nice Estonian name KALEV .

[asteria]

Kalev is the son of lesser spotted eagles(2012). But not a single bird has a name Peter. Why stick to letter K?

[aistera]

Is Peter Estonian name?

[Crissy]

Hello everyone

So nice that people are suggesting names already

Estonian version of Peter is Peeter. I like Kalev too, this name is related to estonian mythical epic poem and is a strong character. But there is no rule to stick to letter K.

[macko50]

I agree the name Kalev too. :)

[asteria]

The name Kalev is already used!

So many names!

I think we should remember that our new male stork already has a name, officially recorded in LK -
https://www.looduskalender.ee/n/en/node/3350 and bestowed by Urmas.
I and others are in favour of retaining that name. We are going to need our ingenuity when it is time to find names for this year's juveniles so please continue to think of suitable names for that time. Then, there will be a separate topic, as always, for choosing names, then voting for the preferred names.

I expect that there may be some members who do not want to keep the already-given name, but I ask for your generosity to allow this. It reflects our sadness at the loss of the original Karl, and is a mark of respect for him.

Karl II or Karl the Second is a very worthy successor to this nest.
