Black stork Must-toonekurg Ciconia nigra
Today at about half past two female Kati arrived – what joy on both sides.
Karl arrived on April 4 in the morning and in the last five days has secured the ”home” quite substantially with branches and brought fresh moss for nest material.
The adults have spent the time since the departure last autumn apart, in different wintering areas - of course they were happy to meet again after a long time.
Starling Kuldnokk Sturnus vulgaris
Prologue
The great spotted woodpecker that has occupied the nest box since January has not come in the camera’s field of view the last two nights – after all, the “drumming period” has started and maybe even a mate has been found?
Early in the morning, at 6.30, the first starling visited the nestbox. There is enough daylight and such a “mansion” must be looked after.
Tawny owl Kodukakk Strix aluco
Klaara laid the third egg in the nest hollow after midnight.
She does not leave the nest immediately after laying an egg. With feeding everything seems to be in order for her. On the bottom of the nest trunk we see the white eggs surrounded by owl pellets – they contain mouse hairs, bones, teeth, all that the bird cannot digest. The pellets are ejected from the digestive tract by vomiting.

Tawny owl Kodukakk Strix aluco
At 7 o’clock in the evening Klaara called on her mate Klaus. And after that we saw the first egg lying on the bottom of the nest.
The nesting period of tawny owls is long and we will have time to discuss everything in more detail.
