I've been thinking about you a lot these days, really. Thank you very much for all the information and photos. We are happy to see the healthy and nice growth of new black storks generation. Successfully fledging! It's pleasure and honor to see so kind words! But, what's most important, I couldn't ...

Looking in to history of Szczeka nest: we find confirmation about 4 eggs already at end of April https://i.postimg.cc/zL43NdPw/for-2024-04-29-a9f46c0d-528a-4746-ac11-7073542e6520.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ZB3n5r1G/for-2024-05-04-2e5b4f14-a497-4f75-b0ac-2a2f3a70d048.jpg whole incubation was very stabl...

In Rzemienowice nest stork family must feel very comfortably from 5 eggs 4 pull. with really good condition on ringing and "professional" parents care https://i.postimg.cc/Yv5wqJMS/for-2024-05-04-ddf3e6ea-b444-49f1-b43a-50c9dee06f71.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1gD1gJ3r/for-2024-05-06-1c5d3dd4...

Similar situation in Ruszcza nest - also three pull. but this time from even fastest breeding: chicks on last days of May were quite big in comparison to other nests https://i.postimg.cc/N9b8pv0G/for-2024-05-27-c62eba1a-a494-4de1-888d-76add3c998a9.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/PNrQNJ6C/for-2024-05-29-445...

Pawęzów checks before banding time showed typical and stable situation: three pull. present with ad. on nest, good feeding achieved on ringing measurements https://i.postimg.cc/XXHXLYnB/for-2024-05-31-b579015b-9279-4710-be51-c923585d386b.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xcX84Vdx/for-2024-06-01-4200848c-a18...

From Kaczka we got only small research before visit with bands: situation in nest at end of May and in firsts days of June looks very promising https://i.postimg.cc/NL1QnG8j/for-2024-05-27-dc948f0a-c3f9-4fcb-be08-e705da6f2b0d.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/FYKm1jMY/for-2024-05-28-bf018200-1d86-4b61-a500-2...

On Chrustowice nest May and June were VERY SURPRISING: "single" bird was still present https://i.postimg.cc/Yh5jWDxv/for-2024-05-01-2c72ade0-f1fe-4107-8d0f-7385ef50323d.jpg ... and SUDDENLY FIRST EGG appear, on aaround 3/05 https://i.postimg.cc/dDD0ScH7/for-2024-05-03-2459da29-86e7-4054-85...

One more time I'm very sorry for this HUGE late with review data publication! Current season is so different and so strange in comparison to all previous in my life... For start short summary for Babski Las , this place left abandoned by C.nigra by all season, but we catch there few interesting info...

According to data received from Szczeka nest, I could only say it's just model example: first visit https://i.postimg.cc/PLJGPKS8/for-2024-03-13-d0cf5a92-28a9-4fca-abb1-a7ff31b45302.jpg pair on nest https://i.postimg.cc/v1NJ99K2/for-2024-03-23-a265de4d-d283-4846-8add-192011ba4562.jpg nest preparatio...

On Rzemienowice situation at sezon start looks also quite strange. Till 2024/03/29 nest probably wasn't visited by black storks and suddenly: first MMS message from 2024/03/29 with fight recorded https://i.postimg.cc/H8Gt1sJk/for-2024-03-29-8e2e1470-f81a-4914-9562-866a3d8f7ed8.jpg after that over lo...
