​​I do a video right now. breaking branches under the nest tree.. and off he goes
they are really close to the nest
​​9:53 loud! there- it is 4,8 degree. That is ...
​​Something happened that I had never seen before, part of the beak turned light. Changes to the beak caused by stress have only been seen in WTE

the time line for this unfortunate situation

It seems to me that the same individual that left the eggs has returned.

BS up at 9.19 and at 11.39 incubating starts again - 2h 20 min. uncovered

14.50 (if I am true), it is the first care of the eggs and the nest after returning to the nest at 11.39 (to me it is the stressed stork, the intervals are not so long usually and the care is very short: 14.50.01-14.50.33 and that was were more looking around than the care)

[marika.solo]

next care: 16.51.50 very unusual long intervals

next care 17.37.33 (now the interval is usual)

[marika.solo]

and change - female arrived, male out ... all is well

answer from Kotkaklubi member (translation shared by our Madli - thank you )

"There is a river only 40 m from the nest. These people in the forest were probably some wanderers who unintentionally walked along the river and probably didn't even notice the storks nest. Maybe fishermen.. so no need to be alarmed this time, although we see how sensitive storks are to any disturbances."
