This is such a beautiful and cosy nest. I hope the busy male will find a nice female soon.

12:22 He brought straw and a twig together.

17:25 Someone flew over the nest ...

Biker,
he whistled more times today - I am still not sure about the reason - probably some times also female flew nearby

(prof. P.Z. wrote to similar situation on PL nest:
He saw another stork - he called for a long time and tilted his head from side to side.
Sometimes it also speaks up after landing without another stork. But then he calls for a shorter time and does not keep looking up.)

midday

("my" photohoster these days works not properly)

[Solo]

stork flew in from unusual direction (as if "fell down from somewhere above") and he was breathing with open beak (ate well )

[Solo]

is his beak damaged after fight ? (not on the nest) idea from youtube chat


sat for a long time and rested (it rained slightly)

after this:

he is very very handsome

[Solo]

is his beak damaged (youtube chat idea)? or it is only from food (admin Inga on youtube chat)?

​Ja stārķis atlidojot elso, tad tā ir normāla parādība ! Knābis ir tikai nosmērēts ar barību un nemeklēsim diagnozes vai traumas, lūdzu !
GT: If the stork breathes first, then it is normal! The beak is just dirty with food and we will not look for diagnoses or injuries, please!
