20.22 The male is back!
He sings


The timestamps are very hard to read..

It's windy today- the camera tree swings a lot.

[Madli]

This stork will probably spend the night in the nest.

Who knows- maybe it's the next Jaan, Jaanus, Johannes or Juss

[Madli]

Hmmmm...a big question mark!

Could that be the same stork from 16./17.04???
I compared the back feathers and there is one distinguishable feather that looks the same on both images.
The first image is by Marika, second I took today.

I also wondered if it was the same male stork that was last time .
