Black storks on white stork nests

[marika.solo]

I can't keep an eye on the camera the whole day - there was a white stork on the nest again, a black one was flashing, now the white one has also flown away (it was previously working with a branch near the camera) and while I was writing this the white stork is back again (span of a few minutes )

16.48.54


16.57 nest is empty

Probably the black stork moved somewhere away - fingers crossed for him!

today I observed the nest - I always saw at least one stork, often two (mating, repairing the nest)
the nest was empty only in the early morning and late afternoon (approx. at 17.50 both arrived to their nest)

continuation:
before 10h someone flew around - they both were alerted (behaviour) and also flew out for a while

stork identity confirmed by the ringing centre - it is the same individual that fought for the nest in Hungen last year - DEW 9X966 (from the rescue station)
