Early morning grooming

Black stork      Must-toonekurg      Ciconia nigra

With the trimming of the plumage less ”chick down” remains, the growing proper feathers get cared for and there will be fewer pestering parasites left – there may be quite a number of them in the nest.

The adults feed the young storks well, at least four rounds of food per day.

… and such the procedure is  – male Tõnn brings the prey to the nest and the female feeds the eaglet. Although the female too is away from the nest ever more often and for longer periods.

In the banner of Looduskalender’s opening page the osprey camera image shows as a ”grey” window. Click confidently, the camera works – the defect will be eliminated.

There is less down left on the stork chicks thanks to their own  nibbling as well as that of the siblings, as a pastime. So they also get rid of  parasites in the nest and birds have plenty of them. The older ones and the a couple of days younger ones  can be distinguished by the length of their beaks.

Nest life lasts long for the stork chicks. In about three weeks they start flight exercises, then life gets interesting again.

Bear; Brown bear        Karu or pruunkaru       Ursus arctos

 

Meeting a bear is a great occasion. No matter that it is a young animal that in the video pursues a strange smell by sniffing, then retreats, with dignity.

We should have to do with a two and a half years old male bear that is not yet quite an adult. It did not participate in the mating season this year
