Pärnu county (Kergu + ?)

[marika.solo]

After the cold days now our Kergu is very busy and he is preparing the nest for the new season.
In my opinion, he sings here and there just to make it known that he is here. When another stork is nearby, he sings intensely, and we can see this also from other signs in his behaviour.

It is really impossible to document Kergu's activity without other active members.

Bozena, thank you for your posts, videos.

Hello everyone

I am very sorry for Kergu. He is so handsome, his nest is well prepared ... Kergu sings day after day repeatedly, but no female appear to him - to this nest.

Раньше тут аисты не селились, теперь станут зайчат убивать, здесь начинается таёжная зона.
(GT) Previously, storks did not settle here, now they will start killing rabbits, this is where the taiga zone begins.
