Black stork        Must-toonekurg       Ciconia nigra

So the first egg was in the nest on April 16th.

To celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Estonia, the Swiss Estonian Association presented Switzerland with one hundred nest boxes to protect endangered bird species. The organizers have made a video introducing the project.
