Hi
I'm in a hurry but I think it's important to know for all
In the case of 2nd clutch, late arrivals and new territory, breeding in Central Europe can still be expected until the end of May and beginning of June
source-
The black stork
Chapter 10.3
Page 213
It is also described that only one or two chicks fled at a late start of breeding. How many eggs a clutch has in late breeders is not documented. They think it's a normal clutch.. four eggs.
Thank you for the information,
Liz. 
Do the authors consider Estonia to be in Central Europe, according to the recommendation by the "Ständiger Ausschuss für geographische Namen" in Germany?
(There are numerous other definitions and viewpoints. Some (most?) say that Estonia is in Northern Europe.)
The climate is different, isn't it? Or do you think this makes no difference?
Possibly the breeding season is shorter in Estonia.
On May 6th, so even before there were any eggs in this nest, Urmas wrote:
"... Despite mating trials, it is unlikely that this year's breeding will still be successful. Even if eggs are laid and chicks hatch, their departure time is too late. The best you can hope for now is that the young female feels well and would like to come back next year. ..."

I have written this before, sorry to repeat it.
Meanwhile there are 2 eggs, and they will not hatch before mid-June.
The first egg was laid on May 14th, the second one came 4 days later, on May 18th.
That is
a month later than usual
We can only wait and see what happens.
