Male stork bringing more nest materials

Black stork        Must-toonekurg         Ciconia nigra

The long five-week incubation period of the black storks is coming to an end, but it can still be affected by the changeable weather this spring. The adults lie on the eggs by turns, and during the last few days material for the nest border has been brought in and the nest has been filled in with moss and from some eggs quiet ”talking” can be heard .

All starling chicks are hatched

Starling        Kuldnokk           Sturnus vulgaris

Five starling chicks were hatched on Friday. On Saturday by eleven o’clock all seven  chicks were hatched.

The adults feed the chicks well. Who sets  the beak wide open is fed. Nest life in the coming three weeks, or until the chicks fledge,  will be filled with activity.
