Female stork Kati

Black stork        Must-toonekurg        Ciconia nigra

The young storks have flying exercises in the morning, everything seems to be order with the orienteering sense of the young birds. After that they have to wait for male Karl with the morning meal and the day goes on.

For some days we have no longer seen mother Kati in the nest. As we already know from earlier years the female leaves first, to head quietly for the wintering grounds.

The forum viewers voted about names for the young storks:

The other juvenile can already be seen in the "perching tree“

Osprey         Kalakotkas       Pandion haliaetus 

This morning a few minutes past eleven o’clock the last young bird in the nest set out to fly. There was no room for landing beside the sibling on the perching tree. So it was a ”sensible” decision to return to the nest after the flying tours.

The young ospreys in the Osprey 2 nest will be two months old in the beginning of August.

Two chicks were hatched for the Bird of the Year, the nightjar, monitored  by the web camera 

From early July all interested watchers could observe the nest life of the Bird of the year, the nightjar. Now the two chicks that were hatched in mid-June have started their independent lives and the nest camera ends its work.

Beaver          Kobras or  piiber       Castor fiber

 

A rare event was seen in the nature webcam in Ura. A broken tree on the river bank fell into the water and hit a beaver that had been feasting in the water.

Beavers are herbivores; in summer aquatic plants as well as meadowsweets, sedges and also nettles on the bank are on their menu
