On Monday night the storklet was still being fed

After the rain on Monday the male came to feed the last storklet left in the nest. The siblings have already started an independent life. The female left already a few weeks ago quietly heading for the winter quarters – such is the mode of life of all nesting birds of this species, which we have seen over the years in the web camera.

The storklets practise flying already for a couple of days. Good that they find their way back to the nest which shows that the young birds manage orienteering.

On Saturday unexpected visitors arrived in the ospreys’ nest. Suddenly the nest was full of bees who had decided to stop as a swarm in the home of the ospreys. The ospreys felt uncomfortable and even the food brought by Mai and Mati was almost impossible to eat.

Swarming, or the departure of a  superfluous portion of bees from the nest together with a queen, usually takes place from the beginning of June to the second half of July.

But maybe there were instead ants in the nest who likewise look for new homes?
