As the viewers of the nest life of the black storks already know, nesting results differed in the two nests observed. In Latvia, in the nest that until now had bred chicks successfully, the nesting did not succeed. Maybe the female that was briefly in place was not the same who nested there earlier, and a breeding pair did not develop with the male that arrived later. So we could see how a single male bird built a nest and visited it regularly. As our Latvian colleague Maris Strazds writes, many females visited the nest but none stayed.

We have not seen the first young stork that left for adventuring for three days. Probably he has started an independent life – if so, we wish good luck!

Three days of straying around for the young black stork … A miracle that it could find the nest. Anyway, the only one of the clutch who has gathered experiences of taking flight, flying, landing, getting its bearings and who knows what more in addition.
