... and there is also one new transmitter stork who visited the Madissaare nest last year and this year. A lonely male and he was photographed some days ago. ... This stork has already showed a few new nest sites!

... a single male visiting the Madissaare nest this year (remember where Madi was from). Urmas caught the stork and installed a transmitter to him. ... Interestingly, he showed a new, yet undiscovered BS nest.
