@AnuKõlar asked: Как отличить самку черного аиста от самца? / How to distinguish a female black stork from a male?

@СветланаКлюева-н6у answered:
у самки на на сложенных крыльях серое потертое пятеро в центре, но края маховых перьев ровные. голова более вытянутая чуть чуть у макушки. на правом плече, когда она закидывает назад голову видна
​​У самца мыховые перья на конце как расческа, посечены. При общем взгляде это размытая серость кажется. голова более круглая. На груди имеется черное маленькое перо. Это надо смотреть на форуме
Свеньи по прилёту сделано сравнение на форуме гнезда Карла. Ну, а так отталкиваешься от спаривание, если смотреть все время. Голоса самки и самца разные при приветствие.

Female:
On her folded wings, there is a grey, worn-looking patch in the centre, but the edges of the flight feathers are smooth and even. Her head is slightly more elongated, especially near the crown. A specific mark is visible on her right shoulder when she throws her head back.
Male:
The ends of his flight feathers are jagged, appearing like a comb or frayed. From a distance, this creates a sort of blurred grey effect. His head is rounder. He also has a small black feather on his chest.
Otherwise, the best way is to observe them over time and base it on mating. Also, the male and female have different voices during their greeting ceremony.
