Black stork          Must-toonekurg       Ciconia nigra

 

The night was of course cold, in the nest forest there may have been at least a couple of degrees of frost but in the morning dusk the egg was really there.

The heron camera starts its third season. We follow the activities in Estonia’s largest heron colony in Lääne County where last season nearly 490 pairs of grey herons and 250 pairs of great egrets were nesting. Only grey herons were nesting in the colony from the start in the 1990’ies; the great egrets did not move in until 2015.
