"The exclusive one-room nest on the roof of the Skrunda House of Culture has been coveted by a black stork. The local storks are not going to give up so easily and give this joy to the black beauty," reports Skrunda's cultural work organizer Aivita Staneviča to the "tv3.lv" portal.
The fight for the nest in the city center has been going on for several days. "How this story will end is unknown. We will follow," reports Staneviča.

Hello, here will be what Māris Strazds said:
Most likely, he is the only one not only in all of Latvia, but maybe also among the black storks that are alive at the moment. Perhaps that bird has grown up in a white stork's nest and identifies itself with a white stork, but biologically of course it is not. He has innate behavioural frames. Those white storks, whom he would like to cling to and maybe find a partner for himself, do not understand him. What black storks are roosting flight, the white one may perceive it as an attack and does not understand why the "black fool" is flying after him.
Marika:
such cases are increasing, albeit rarely, and are documented (last year there was also a joint nesting of a female black stork and a white male - 2 chicks successfully fledged)
