Hello everyone

youtube chat info by @LizNm

​​Hi, everyone! Bad end on the Latvian nest- The male has been absent since August 9th; the female brought one meal on each of two days. Then she, too, stayed away.
​​Everything depends on the availability of food. If supplementary feeding is provided—as is the case here—there is a good chance of a positive outcome.
​​Late broods continue into September if there is enough food.
​​I think, the little ones won't survive, even though they are now ready to fledge. They didn't have time to explore their surroundings.
​​And where the parents can't find anything, the chicks won't find anything either.

fingers crossed very, very much - it is hard to be optimistic .... I remember well what scenario Dr.Strazds wrote in 2021

Hello everyone

12:06:16 - Black stork arrives at the nest.



Tidying up the nest.



There is a visible small black spot, but that still isn't proof that it's Ogris.

12:10:02 - The stork jumps onto the left branch.



12:28:24 - The stork jumps onto the branches above the nest.
13:13:17 - The stork flies off from the upper branches.

In any case, if that black stork is Ogris, in my opinion, the reason the young storks stopped being fed was likely a lack of food. It is very sad.
