Black stork    Must-toonekurg       Ciconia nigra

 

The camera was installed on the Karula lands on April 4th. This nest was discovered only last year. Favourable southerly winds brought the black storks there the next day. Things have developed at lightning speed. The forum members made a quick round of name-giving: the female is called Kati and the male, Karl.

The seal beach has become empty, new inhabitants take over the space

 

Oystercatcher    Merisk   Haematopus ostralegus

 

The oystercatcher flocks have arrived. The birds, of both sexes, have a black-and-white plumage, with a long, straight and red beak. The eyes too are red, in addition ringed in orange and the legs pale red, as if bleached in the sea water.
