Solo, Sue, you're welcome :D

I expected him to come to his nest for a last visit. That's why I kept watching every day. This was a late visit for a non-brooding stork.
But Kaupo and Gaja are an exceptional couple. :innocent:

August 8

FB Melnais stārķis. Dzīvības lidojums

(GT-little correction)
During the winter season, nest searches were conducted with the help of volunteers, and one of the areas to be searched was the Virkus Forest near Dobele. The good news is that this nest is successful this year and has 4 hatched chicks. Perhaps this year this is the only nest with such a number of chickens, in all the rest are 2-3. Admittedly, 2-3 stork chicks are easier to feed to parents than 4, so time will tell just how successful this nest is at the end of the season.
The bad news - This year is the worst in terms of unproductive nests. This year, 70% of all known nests are unproductive. Unfortunately, the proportion of non-productive nests in the total number of nests has never been higher.
We are grateful to all the supporters who have helped Maris Strazds to survey more than 100 nests so far and also to draw conclusions from what the Black Storks have been up to this year. Unfortunately, it is nothing good, but at least we know it and it is valuable. Let's keep up!
:loveshower: (I hope even the smallest chick is still alive)

Thanks Solo!

It was very interesting to read, but as you said, it's not the best news. :innocent:

Let's hope for better results next year.

Liz great that you were able to catch the final visit from Kaupo on the nest. Thank you for the pics and comments and video! :wave:
Solo thanks for sharing the news, more sadly for the black stork population.

pleas help Hungarian storklovers
- too much young storklet perished in first days after they fly out of the nest and adult storks, raptors and also migrating birds are often victims. The numbers are very big - as a minimum, about 30 000 birds may be affected by an electric shock, medium 170 000, maximum 500 000 birds.

on this page little down after the Hungarian text is this text also English, for signing click pls on the blue "Petíció aláírása" in menu right and confirm your signature in the mail as usual

thanx very much

the wound is symmetrical on both sides (as from grip with teeth). worsened in a week. Probably, a conflict with another squirrel or a young marten
