Hello everyone

stork arrives every day to his nest (and the mistle thrush again and again attacks the stork in the nest)
today Notek arrives at 08.22 (and still is there)

I don't see new delivery, only some times he works with nest material

1/ arrival - 2/ strengthening the nest rim - 3/ resting

The forest is so pretty and green! Too bad there aren't any stork babies to admire this year among this beauty...Hopefully next year!

And why is Notek getting attacked? The other birds also have a nest on that tree and they see the stork as a threat to them maybe..

"The mistle thrush is is a pale, black-spotted thrush - large, aggressive and powerful."
(https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildl ... le-thrush/)


who know, maybe there are mistletoe:
"The mistle thrush likely got its name from its love of mistletoe - it will defend a berry-laden tree with extreme ferocity!"

Oh dear... Poor Notek!
Hopefully he won't become too tired of this angry mistle thrush

Hello everyone

other stork is near the nest - midday - and later this stork flies above the nest (the shadow is visible before already too)
(shots later) - it is hard to catch this fly

half an hour of tension - a foreign stork (probably a male) circled around the nest and flew in front of the camera in both directions
his shadow was visible and part of his body here and there in height
