Re: Black Stork Nest 2 (Jan and Janika) 2023
First of all, I'm glad that a male has occupied this nest. He will find a female. If not this year, then next.
after all, there was already a female here. Very shy. Maybe it was Janika. Along with the male should she get trust to this nest again?
20:52 He sings beautiful
the female, spotted by Askja

Hulbi, Jan did not find the fish basket.Hulbi Lorm wrote: ↑April 28th, 2023, 8:55 pm Thanks, Liz. So still some days left with a certain chance. I'm so hoping for old man Kergu...
I guess, if the logistics allow it, if food became the problem for such a "late nest", another fish restaurant could open. I would gladly contribute, that's for sure.
BTW: my fingers are crossed for Kergu too.

I am hopeful that this magnificent black stork male will become our Jan II, now that he decided to stay in the nest for the night.
I believe Janika was already at the nest circa 10 days ago and left after 2 minutes but maybe a first time breeding female will stumble upon this nest and pair up with him. They usually arrive later than females with a nest, so there is hope.
Although... I worry about the strange 'singing' the male was doing. This was not normal, seemed to hiss more than sing as well. Could be a raptor nearby. This hissing and defending behavior could be seen when the first male visited the nest. I worry that there might be a raptor nest or resting area nearby after Jan and Janika went missing. But we will see. I have hopes. Hope is there until a male is on the nest. If not this year then next year will bring success. It must.

Don’t keep us in suspense, Liz! What happened to those three Latvian chicks?

5:58 defending pose
settles down in the nest. It's defensive behavior. But it doesn't seem like a very dangerous enemy and not a conspecific

sova we are indiscriminate when it comes to nest occupation. The important thing is that it has to be a female
Jan is back and sings
10:23 Happy singing or? he looks up- habitat greeting song - "My beautiful, already finished nest"
10:28 preening in the rocking nest
