Two storklets are still left to spend the night in the nest…

We have not seen the first young stork that left for adventuring for three days. Probably he has started an independent life – if so, we wish good luck!

The strong western winds last weekend caused a rapid rise of the seawater level and by Saturday morning the sea already splashed only a few centimetres from our camera, on Sunday there was already deep choppy sea.

Before moving it the doings of waders could be observed directly at the camera and it was a good opportunity to identify bird species. Determining waders is otherwise a tricky enterprise even for experienced birdwatchers because of their similarity.

Compared to yesterday the water level at Havers had risen by 15 centimetres, and compared to the day before yesterday, with all of 30 centimetres - the camera stands with its feet in water,

The birds are busy around the camera. Margus Ots starts on Monday with introductions to the species to be seen.

New camera. In the centre of the image there is a salt lick, which is why the animals visit the place at all. As autumn proceeds we expect ever more deer in camera view since in the later half of autumn the winter flocks start to gather. The site on the border between field and forest verge is a favourite place for roe deer.

The peak period of the waders’ migration is approaching. We have installed the camera in western Estonia, on the Noarootsi coast to observe the migration of waders; the site is considered to be the best in Läänemaa for studying and observing the waders’ migration.

So the young bird arrived, from the left …

Three days of straying around for the young black stork … A miracle that it could find the nest. Anyway, the only one of the clutch who has gathered experiences of taking flight, flying, landing, getting its bearings and who knows what more in addition.
