This beautiful black stork nest is located in Jõgeva County in Estonia.
It is a neighbouring nest to the former Jan & Janika Black Stork nest.
The nest was found in 2024 by Renno Nellis and he installed a trail camera.
On 14 March 2025, Urmas and Friends installed a webcam. They used the Jan & Janika camera.
This year, the owners of this nest arrived as early as 27 March.
The nest tree and it’s surroundings
Urmas:
”The nest tree is an aspen, quite an old one. Aspens get easily tree diseases, so the nest tree is not in good health, as usual. There is old damage on the bark near the ground and the inside of the tree seems to be decaying. There is some risk of breaking in strong wind, during green time. Many bigger branches are broken already. The nest is partly supported by a broken branch and I did some fixing of the nest rim on the left edge. But I did not really step on the nest, it seemed not strong enough to hold me.
The forest around the nest is old, with different tree species and different ages of trees, like it should be in a natural forest. There is a small stream about 40m of the nest, but last year in July it was dry. So probably there’s not much fish in that brook.”
