August 11

good morning

no stream...

I read in the Latvian Forum, that it is irrelevant whether a black stork comes back after the season to nest. It seems to be not matter, if he doesn't it.
there are not enough brood trees in Latvia. therefore this nest is occupied again next year. I hope so.

still no sign of Ozols. Eedi and Raivo are still in estonia. So I still have a little hope, that he comes

Eedi is already in Latvia and Karl is in south of Ukraine.
Raivo is the only one at his area. Is he getting older??

Abigyl, well, Ozols is also no longer the youngest. He gets confused, with all his wives
Maybe he is a little senile and will come to the nest soon

empty nest. It rained two days. Today the sun will shine. maybe Ozols will come. OK, it's unlikely

[lianaliesma]

Yes, Liz, now it is unlikely ... Ozols like Karl is now far from his nest ... We will wait him back next spring.
