I'll try to move information from other threads here and add the latest sightings

Diesen jungen Schwarzstorch, haben wir aufgrund einer Ständerverletzung ab August 2023 in der Wildvogelhilfe gepflegt. Am 8. März 2024 konnte er wieder ausgewildert werden. / We have been caring for this young black stork in the wild bird rescue center since August 2023 due to a leg injury. He was released back into the wild on March 8, 2024.

Am 17.08. nahmen wir einen sehr stark geschwächten jungen Schwarzstorch auf. Er hatte eine Ständerverletzung und das Gefieder war voller Parasitten. Am 20.08. übergaben wir den Vogel an die Tierarztpraxis Rafael, wo er von Frau Grasnick versorgt wurde. Am 23.09. konnte er wieder zu uns in Pflege genommen werden. Die Verletzungen am Ständer sind gut verheilt. Den Winter wird er bei uns verbringen müssen, bis er voraussichtlich im Frühjahr ausgewildert werden kann.

On August 17th we took in a very weak young black stork. He had a bone injury and his feathers were full of parasites. On August 20th We handed the bird over to the Rafael veterinary practice, where it was cared for by Ms. Grasnick. On September 23rd he could be taken back into our care. The injuries to the stand have healed well. He will have to spend the winter with us until he can probably be released into the wild in the spring.

Seit 17. August 2023 ist dieser Schwarzstorch aufgrund einer Ständerverletzung bei uns in Pflege. Die Tierarztpraxis DVM R. Rafael & C. Grasnick versorgte die Verletzungen. Die Wintermonate hat der Storch gut überstanden. Seine Flugmuskulatur war sehr gut ausgebildet und so konnte er am 8. März 2024 in die Freiheit entlassen werden.

This black stork has been in our care since August 17, 2023 due to a bone injury. The veterinary practice DVM R. Rafael & C. Grasnick treated the injuries. The stork survived the winter months well. His flight muscles were very well developed and so he was released into the wild on March 8, 2024.

Black stork attacks white stork pair

video by our forum member Judit - thank you very much!

Hungen, DE - egy fekete gólya támadta meg a fehér gólyákat - 2023 03 09


I know only one similar case https://goris.lv/pavasara-jaunumi/ (very interesting reading in my opinion)

BS is visiting one white stork nest in Crevalcore, IT(also by our Judit):

Crevalcore, IT - a hazaérkező fehér gólya elzavarja a fiatal fekete gólyát - 2022 12 03

That's interesting, I've never seen black storks compete for a nest with white storks .

the author of this video (Zsuzsa Wagner/macska) wrote, there where at least 5 attacks! (and later partner change in white stork)



edit:
I know one similar case https://goris.lv/pavasara-jaunumi/ (very interesting reading by Dr. M.Strazds) and see next posts too

"Wahnsinn ! Das ist vielleicht einer der beiden, die letztes Jahr in Pommersfelden-Steppach ein Nest auf einem Dach gebaut haben. Das liegt nämlich nur ca 8 km weiter nördlich.Der tolle Schnappschuss wurde übrigens von BARBARA aus Feathery Friends gemacht. Danke nochmal, liebe Barbara ! "
"Incredible! That's maybe one of the two who built a nest on a roof in Pommersfelden-Steppach last year. (Marika: preevious post) That's only about 8 km further north. By the way, the great snapshot was taken by BARBARA from Feathery Friends. Thanks again, Dear Barbara!"

"The exclusive one-room nest on the roof of the Skrunda House of Culture has been coveted by a black stork. The local storks are not going to give up so easily and give this joy to the black beauty," reports Skrunda's cultural work organizer Aivita Staneviča to the "tv3.lv" portal.

The fight for the nest in the city center has been going on for several days. "How this story will end is unknown. We will follow," reports Staneviča.

VIDEO shared and translated (what Dr.M.S. says) translated at my request by Guna Eglāja - big thank to you!

Although the white and black storks are from the same family, it can be figuratively said that they speak different languages ​​and do not understand each other. The result of such communication can be seen in Skrunda. The employees of the Skrunda Culture House were very surprised when they saw the black one in the white stork's nest. The whites have not been at peace with it. Who will really be the master of the nest?

Hello, here will be what Māris Strazds said:
Most likely, he is the only one not only in all of Latvia, but maybe also among the black storks that are alive at the moment. Perhaps that bird has grown up in a white stork's nest and identifies itself with a white stork, but biologically of course it is not. He has innate behavioural frames. Those white storks, whom he would like to cling to and maybe find a partner for himself, do not understand him. What black storks are roosting flight, the white one may perceive it as an attack and does not understand why the "black fool" is flying after him.

Marika:
such cases are increasing, albeit rarely, and are documented (last year there was also a joint nesting of a female black stork and a white male - 2 chicks successfully fledged https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=128)
