March 31
Hello everyone

info by our Madli - big thx!

There will be a new camera in Jõgeva county, not far from Jan and Janika's nest.
There is already a PAIR since 27.03! But the battery has become empty meanwhile... so maybe the broascast will be delayed...

The Black Stork nest camera is situated in Jõgeva County in Estonia. We have known about this breeding site since the early 1990s, but in turning times surrounding of nest was cut, nest abandoned and later nest tree (old birch) broke.
Nest in current situation was found by Renno Nellis in mid March 2024. He installed trail camera there in neighbour tree, therefore we know that in 2024 in this nest fledged five chicks. (MarikaSolo: is this female our Janika2?)
In terms of streaming it is quite difficult place - low network and long distance to carry equipment, if needed. So, in case of no transmission, we need to wait. During test period (since March 14) YouTube transmissioon stopped several times and we do not know the reason. In spite of remote place there is noise of two bigger roads to be heard. Seems microphone amplifies these low frequency noises, what are not disturbing so much on place.
