Dear bird friends and watchers of the webcams!

I am a constant bird camera observer and ponder about what is seen there: who, what, why and how in the nest life of the chicks since their hatching.

I have noticed similarities as well as differences depending on the species, the age of the chicks and other factors such as the relations between parents and chicks and external forces.

In the case of the chicks of the black storks it has been clear that their internal relations are close and many different behaviours and reactions can be seen.

Osprey       Kalakotkas      Pandion haliaetus

By now the LK forum members have linked the codes on the leg rings to names for the young birds.

XJ – was given the name Jaak (after the last letter of the ring). The wing length of the oldest osprey chick was 305 mm at the measuring and the weight 1,40 kilos; As a reminder, even with adults the males are smaller and lighter

Birthday kids

Black stork     Must-toonekurg         Ciconia nigra

Almost a week ago our stork chicks got rings on their legs as well as transmitters as light-weight backpacks on their backs. The birdmen get more information about the movements of the young birds before their breeding period arrives.

All operations were carried out simultaneously in order to disturb nest life as little as possible and everything passed successfully.
