White-tailed eagle Merikotkas Haliaeetus albicilla
Urmas took the trouble to climb to the nest with a rope, without using climbing irons. The trunk of the nest tree is not large enough.
Rings are in place on legs, the eagle chicks measured and weighed.
Black stork Must-toonekurg Ciconia nigra
The two bigger storklets are only three days old, one is a day younger which shows too, but all are well and sturdy.
Feeding is easy for the adults at first. Half-digested food which the storks-to-be digest better is regurgitated for the storklets (they already know that food comes from a beak and one must stretch towards there). Larger fish and anything that is not suitable for the storklets the adult eat themselves and so the ”table” gets cleaned up too.

Black stork Must-toonekurg Ciconia nigra
Adults Kati and Karl have spent the last few days in waiting, as have we. Late on Monday night two eggs were already ”talking”, with small holes in the eggshells.
By early morning one eggshell was already lifted on to the edge of the nest and Kati showed us two hatched stork chicks. Congratulations!

On Tuesday we could observe in the nest box camera (nest box 3) how a wryneck plundered the great tit nest. The video shows the wryneck throwing 10 eggs out of the nest and also part of the nest material
Wryneck Väänkael Jynx torquilla
Buzzard Hiireviu Buteo buteo
Once more there is a new citizen in the world; the first buzzard-to-be has been hatched. The eggs were laid in the stick nest on April 6, 9 and 12, thus five weeks of incubation. Looking forward we can state that until they fledge there are still 6-7 weeks left.
