Translation Liis
On Monday morning a fourth egg was in the black stork nest.
 
Black stork         Must-toonekurg         Ciconia nigra
 
We will look a few days back in time as already the fourth egg is in the nest now. 
The third egg was laid on April 11th.
 
Care must be taken that all eggs are properly fertilized

We saw the second egg in the nest on the morning of April 9th.

The female delighted us with the first egg in the morning of April 7th.
 
She arrived at the nest for the first time on April 2nd.
 
When the male bird arrived a strange competitor wanted to have the nest for himself and the skirmishes were repeated and quite manly …  Justice conquered and the owner kept the nest.
 
In the Latvian forum the black storks have been baptized Zile for the female and Ozols for the male.
