A cautious black stork

Unusual image, if any, that this black stork which has taken up residence in the village of Meslières for two days. This cousin of the Alsatian white stork is much rarer; it is also on the red list of endangered animals. Is that why she takes the pedestrian crossing to get her food in the Acorn, on the other side of the bridge?

Majestic Black Stork in Semoutiers

It was installed last weekend. From now on, a majestic black stork, emblem of the National Forest Park, spreads its wings around the roundabout that leads to the Semoutiers motorway tollbooth. Motorists who take the A5 or who travel on the Chaumont – Arc-en-Barrois axis have not failed to see this work of art, for which a call for tenders had been launched by the Departmental Council of the Haute-Marne in 2020.
The visual artist, Michèle Caillaud-Houël, lives in Aube. She is notably the author of a sculpture homage to Simone Veil, whose name was given to the hospital of Troyes.

The bright side of volunteering ❤️
Volunteering in Klekusiów relies on dealing with wild animals, it allows you to get to know them better. It teaches empathy and respect for animals.

PEPÍČEK (PL: Pepiczek)
(Marika: Pepíček - [ˈpɛpiːt͡ʃɛk] - is diminutive of the male given name Pepa, a pet form of Josef in Czech language)

(GT withou correction yet)
Black Stork, unusual, blind. He came to our center in early September 2017. From the information on the ring, it appears that he comes from the Czech Republic - hence his name 🙂 (Marika: ring numer 6216)
Thirteen and a half years old. He will never see it. Pepiczek does not leave the aviary for his safety. He has learned his living place perfectly and cleverly avoids all obstacles. He even has his favourite diaper, on which he often spends his time dignifiedly.
Pepiczko's delicacy is carps, he is eager to catch them from the seedling. Hes a little munchkin. He is also very curious. Unfortunately, he won't be able to explore the world any-more because he will never regain his sight 😥
He will stay with us for the rest of his birdie days ❤️
We have a request.
Pepiczek and his bird friends need food adapted to each species. Unfortunately feeding all the birds is a huge burden on our resort.

Please support Pepiczko and the rest of the gang ❤️❤️❤️

This is such a sweet story actually. Despite being blind, the stork lives a peaceful life and can manage quite well. (in captivity)
I wish many happy days for this lovely stork!

FRANCE - LATVIA, ESTÓNIA

(GT without corrections)
International Black Stork Mission in Latvia and Estonia. September 22-27, 2021

...
In Estonia, the mission consisted of dismantling two web camera devices that allow watching live on YouTube the process of rearing the cubs from the return of the adults in March until the fledglings fledge. Mr. Urmas SELLIS, who masters the climbing technique, dismantles the system: the image sensor and microphone in the nest, the camera on a nearby tree, the further placed antenna for retransmission and finally the batteries on the ground at a distance of about thirty meters. . One of the nests is located in a pine tree in Karula National Park.
It is the smallest Estonian national park with a total area of ​​123 km². It was established in 1993. It consists of 70% forest. 40 lakes are counted. There are also swamps, bogs and some grassy farmland. The relief is slightly hilly, the highest point is 137.8 m.
Black stork breeding is regular in Karula National Park with an average of two breeding pairs per year. A bear ravaged the apiary. The national park is responsible for compensation.
The second nest north of Tartu is located in a birch tree equipped with a web camera. One of the chicks equipped with a transmitter started its migration through France (ie through the east), which is unusual for Estonian black storks, which mainly migrate through the east, the Bosphorus, then east Africa to Ethiopia and Sudan. LPO Aisne attended the search for the bird, which was not found. A malfunction of the transmitter is possible.
This same nest suffered a brown bear predation attempt in the past, claw marks on the trunk. But the nest was too high. The animal was spotted by a camera trap.
