E-mail from Urmas re. supporting the volunteer feeders, etc.

Some support for volunteer feeders of Black Stork or fish providers would be good to have. I see already now food shortage

Possible is to make direct transfer to Eagle Club account, that has not changed. And there in notice is possible to write the reason, e.g., for volunteer Black Stork feeders.

It would be good, because I see busy summer is coming for me with several monitoring plus expert opinions in development sites (military, wind farms, quarries, etc)... feeding I can share with pleasure.

This morning Kaia was in other fish basket feeding there. We know that place from last year and year before.

Food shortages already? And still only May. We see the low water level and so there is need of our help.

Thank you @Jo UK and Urmas!

It will be absolutely necessary to help with donations. I'm sure many users and friends of live cameras would also like to assist.
We have to help!

We see drought and have a nest with 4 eggs.

They may switch night shifts again. Karl II now had 3 night shifts.

Swenja, e-mails

[Swenja]

Thank you @Jo UK for the example of how to do it.
You are right, it is only in May and a lot of help will be necessary.

Even if there may be some rain in the coming days, the drought will not be balanced. The possibilities are limited in drought that Karl II and Kaia find enough food themselves.

Oh, I'm reading.

I have made a donation to Kotkaklubi ...

I also made a donation but using PayPal. The only problem was that they required a First AND Last name so I repeated the Kotkaklubi in both name spaces. Otherwise, I used the information provided here and contact information for Kotkaklubi from the home page. It seemed to work and was confirmed. Thank you for giving the information about donations.
