Łódź (Florentino/Flo and Fermina/Fer)

[Justyna]

Piotr Zielinski 21:00

20:53:00 Fago jumps up, even gracefully. They both pull their feet off the ground freely. Fago is lighter and even does it more gracefully than Figo.

DELIVERIES x 0, MATING x 0

FEEDINGs
- Flo x 3, Fer x 3,
- with Flo dominated by fish, Fer exclusively frogs, so nothing new.

TRANSMITTERS
- stork from Kutno (2021) still in the valley of the Słudwia River. It is only 30 km to the Bolimov Forest. It is possible that later it will nest there.
- stork from Piotrkow (2020) is foraging in the northern Ukraine/Moldova border south of the Dniester, but these are typically agricultural, deforested areas, so he will only look for a piece of forest in 2023.

I moved/added the information about ringing to the previous post

The goshawk tries to attack Figo and Fago again:

[marika.solo]

Piotr Zieliński at 21.00

VISITs
05:52:14 - hawk visit (Marika: Jastrząb zwyczajny = Northern goshawk)
- it was also a direct raid on the nest
- Figo stared, but Fago reacted correctly, that is, he straightened up, began to crack his beak and ruffled feathers and at the last moment lay down on the nest
- but the hawk already knew that, by surprise, nothing would happen and it did not lower its flight but flew over the youngs
- and Figo and Fago can fly now

(08:06 Fago - pellet)

09:06:56 - hawk flight from right to left next to the nest, chicks stand and warn
Q: Can an adult stork be hurt by a hawk?
A: a healthy and fit stork will defend itself against a hawk

FEEDINGs
- feedding: 5, Flo x 2, Fer x 3
- that is, the nutritional situation is still good

Figo and Fago take care of their feathers and siblings feathers
(Figo is older than Fago by 26 hours)

TRANSMITTERs
- only this stork from Piotrków announced a new position, but it remains unchanged: still Ukraine / Moldova

PZ:
- I watched this hawk at 5:52 again, from the behaviour of storklets it appears that hawk flew to the left, sat on a branch and watched the chicks until 5:55:38 and only than flew away
- it is important that hawk realistically assessed his chances

Blissful Saturday laziness at Figo & Fago

[Justyna]

Piotr Zieliński 21:00

FEEDINGs
- Flo x 4, Fer x3

VISITs:
- 8:55:41 the hawk flew past the nest (Justyna: Original entry from the chat, probably Ali: 08:55:38 Birds of prey flew under the nest and disturbed the storklets)
- he just checked if our chicks are alert, flew by the nest, but below the nest level, though if he had hit, maybe he would have gotten discouraged
- we are not afraid of the hawk anymore, chances has less than 1%, but it happens that even during exercise, a storklet falls out of its nest - and it may fall prey to a hawk

TRANMSITTERs:
- stork from Piotrków (2020) is in N Moldova on the Dradishte River (Marika: It is also known as Drabita, Dradishte, Draghiste, Draghişte, Drăbiţa, Драдиште - Draghişte is a stream in Raionul Edineţ, Moldova; photos )
- others remain unchanged

Q: Justyna: @Piotr Zieliński and how is the situation in other nests in our forest?
A: Piotr Zieliński: I haven't done a summary yet, but there are a lot of occupied nests

Hawk attack on Figo and Fago

[Justyna]

Piotr Zieliński 21:00

FEEDINGs
- Flo x 4, Fer x 1 (frogs)
- Flo has been switching more and more to fish for several days; previously he brought fish in the morning only, later frogs; now he brings fish throughout the day, Flo had to find himself new fishery, and Fer stays with familiar pitch with frogs,

18:33 hawk - the chances of a successful attack are purely theoretical, but the chicks take the threat seriously and made a deep dodge, it is very good that they do not underestimate him;

the jumps and swings are in full swing

Q: Ala Ja-ska: Piotr, we are filing a class action lawsuit against Mr. J, because it is already subject to harassment and causes damage to our mental health
A: Piotr Zieliński: @Ala Ja-ska - I look at it differently, since the hawk has only theoretical chances, then we have nothing to be afraid of. And the chicks learn to be alert. It will only do them good.

- we have to get used to the hawk. Not to like it right away, but to accept it

TRANSMITTERs
- unchanged

Piotr Zieliński 21:02

Fago has shown many times today that he can jump and flap his wings.
We only need Fermina to complete the set (Fermina is missing). I think he will check in tomorrow. It's too late today.

FEEDINGs
- Fer x 0, Flo x 3: fish - amphibians - and fish for dinner

Q - Justyna: Piotr, how do you think, has she changed the feeding grounds and now has to keep flying, that's why she appears so rarely?
A- Piotr Zieliński: Justyna - yes, I think she's flying on - but not as a gadabout (latawica) - looking for food.

TRANSMITTERd
- stork from Piotrków (2020): still Moldova
- stork from Kutno (2021) the oxbow lake of the Odra river near Krosno Odrzańskie (Marika - photo https://polska-org.pl/7937099,foto.html)

* Piotr is gone tomorrow (tennis match), but he will be on Wednesday

Justyna at 21:

At 7:25 a deer or doe runs from the depths of the forest to the right

FEEDINGs
- 1 feeding from Flo at 12:13 pm, deliveries x 0, matings x 0. Fermina still hasn't shown up.
- at 12:14 fight for a frog, Fago won (Zdislaw says)

Our Figo and Fago take care of each other and take care of their feathers. Wing exercises and jumps Figo x 13, Fago x 11, i.e. both exercise a lot, do not linger.
