Latvian black storks - 2020/2021

[Liz01]

you read that on the youtube chat there?: 1:40 PM Kotkaklubi​ Three headed angry dragon surprised the hungry eagle, this time! (

I have read it!
and I also saw that the eagle was not afraid of the camera!

[Liz01]

15:20 there is someone on the left

14:52 preening the sibling


15:03 pretty windy


15:26 big wings

[Liz01]

15:27 jumping and wing exercises
15:28:50 that will not end well in that nest

[Liz01]

[Liz01]

16:51 begging I think it is Grafiene

OMG .. there is a thread the goshawk landed on the nest tree during the feeding!


Grafiene has fled

[Liz01]

Storklets are defending





it was the goshawk .. he is gone

16:54 they are begging again
feeding was interrupted by the goshawk
Grafiene is gone without feeding

that was so far one of the worst days for the storklets. Almost no food till now

[Liz01]

18:02 a honey buzzard is calling

18:45 begging

one of the parents were here .. I think it is Grafiene






they are still begging
18:51 parent is gone

[Liz01]

18:51 /18:52 healthy ps by two of them




only three feedings till now
If this continues in this way, they will stay in the nest for a very long time. That's just too little food

[Liz01]

20:06 a deer is barking
storklets are resting.. sleeping

There were three feedings!
The oldest is 51 days old. still 10 days until the first possible fledge (The earliest documented fledge was 56 days in a nest with 4 chicks) On average, they spend 65-72 days in the nest, depending on the food available.

Hatch Times:
June 12th #1 is today 51 days old
June 14th #2 is today 49 days old
June 15th #3 is today 48 days old

BTW: There are documented cases of late broods.
In late broods or 2nd clutch, the chicks often do not fledge until the end of August or beginning of September.
For example, on a nest in Schleswig-Holstein, as well as on 2 nests in Mecklenburg-Pomerania.
since they were without a transmitter, it is not known whether they made it to Africa
