Nightjar Öösorr Caprimulgus europaeus
The nightjar nestlings hatched within less than a day on June 13 and 14 and by today they are one week old. Splendid that we have been able to follow the doings of these birds through the web camera. We have been lucky: after all this is the Bird Of The Year.

Black stork Must-toonekurg Accipiter gentilis
The attacks of the goshawk on the nest lasted nearly until noon with intervals; interesting where the bird of prey headed and why did it abstain from attacking the nest again?
The storklets calmed down within some ten minutes after the bird of prey left – they can judge danger.

Goshawk Kanakull Accipiter gentilis
If we have the identification right we have to do with a first year goshawk because we can see lengthwise streaks on the breast plumage of the hawk.
During the attack the goshawk changes tactics because the storklets defend themselves. It was left to push someone over the edge of the nest when flying past which also happens 5 minutes into the video.
The goshawk weighs probably just over a kilo and the storklets are beginning to approach a kilo.
