Thank you, Marika for your help today!

I am just exhausted!
I will quickly rewind and look through the day.

OMG I just got to that part and saw this This is really dangerous! I read from LK that Urmas has been informed..that's good..but I can't imagine what's the next plan...clearly this is a human caused issue and needs very urgent care! I think that is Urmas manages to get Kaia somehow, she will get her rings and a transmitter also...but would it be possible to climb up to the tree without Kaia flying away? That's risky!
And a hook near the mouth means that there is probably still a fishing line in her stomach? If she regurgitates food this may fall to the nest floor and we wouldn't want to see what might happen if it injures a chick...

Really not a single day in a storks nest without any drama!

New info from Urmas (LK)

"Very strange thing. Unfortunately exactly that time when hook-like thing appeared, it was interruption.
Lets look in the morning, at the moment nothing to do."
