According to the information available to Māris Strazds, the nesting area of ​​black storks has been known here since at least 2003, however, this nest was only found in January 2021.
The nest could have been built in 2010 after the previous nest was abandoned.
In 2021, there were no chicks, in 2022, three young birds were successfully hatched.
In the previous nest in this area, one of the old birds was ringed, while in this nest in 2022, both nesting old birds were ringless.

Latvijas Dabas fonds (YT chat, translated):
The nest is located in Vidzeme. A more specific location is not planned to be disclosed. Most of the components of the system are from the nest of the Sigulda black stork. The nest is in an oak tree.

Yes.
But I hope that Grafs has better luck this season, although we cannot follow him anymore. Certainly I will not forget him.
I am ready to meet this new lovely pair

[Adria]

Don't you know how far this new nest is from where Graf's nest was? Is there a theoretical chance that he would like this nest and nest here.

[marika.solo]

- the exact location of the nest in Sigulda was not publicly known, just as they did not publish the location of this nest in Ogre
- estimating the distance between the two nests would be mere speculation

- btw. storks sometimes change their nest for several reasons, but stay in the same locality (according to my available information - knowledge)

Better luck in new area ... dr. M. Strazds evaluates that area (Sigulda nest) as unsuitable - lack of food for the chicks

Ah, I understand that. So let's see if someone nests here.
Thanks for the clarification, Marika
