Reakcja obronna bocianów czarnych na jastrzębia / Defensive reaction of black storks to a goshawk

Oburzenie prawie 60 dniowych bocianów w Połczynie trwało około 10 minut. Przyczyną był #jastrząb, który najpierw przemknął jak strzała (lewy górny róg), a potem prawdopodobnie siedział w pobliżu na gałęzi czym doprowadzał młode do wielkiej furii. Na swoje szczęście, nie odważył się na nic więcej, a zastosowana przez pisklęta technika odstraszania: nadymanie szyi, wyciąganie i kłapanie dziobami w kierunku agresora, rozkładanie skrzydeł - wystarczyły.

The defensive reaction of the nearly 60-day-old storks in Połczyn lasted for about 10 minutes. The cause was a Goshawk. First, it flew past very quickly like an arrow (upper left corner). Then, it probably perched on a nearby branch. This kept the chicks in a high-alert state. Fortunately, the predator did not try anything else. The defense tactics used by the chicks—puffing up their necks, lunging and snapping their bills at the aggressor, and spreading their wings—were enough to discourage him.
