Thank you for answer dear Madli,

so sad situation, too much males can not find a female for nesting

[Madli]

Unfortunetly yes. So many males alone this year....

But back to the most interesting part now..

11.15 And Kergu is back again, calling!
Is a female around, or he doesn't like Nurme, who may be still lurking around...





11.16 He rushes out again

[Madli]

Kergu stayed in somewhere nearby branch, I hear some branches rustling

11.17 Back again


And quickly out again.

11.19 Back in, calling
11.20 Out again

11.21 Back in, calling
11.22 Kergu flies away

[Madli]

14.39 Kergu rushes back to the nest, calling


14.41 A shadow moves over the nest

14.42 Another stork flies by! (image is cropped- showing the trajectory of 1 stork)


Kergu lies down, showing the ownership to this nest

[Madli]

Defensive pose,


It's probably Nurme who is flying around.

14.44 Kergu flies out from the nest.

[Madli]

17.15 Kergu is back.

[Madli]

Kergu works on the nestand arranges some materials.
