A huge thank you for your wonderful Black Stork Forum!
It's been lovingly created and is a fantastic resource and documentation.
The list of links to the camera nests is also very helpful.
Thanks to everyone involved.

The nests are empty. The season is over.
This year, during the live broadcasts from the nests of rare birds in Lithuania, there was everything. Joy when we saw the birds returning in the spring. Uncertainty when we watched whether the birds would stay in their old nests or look for new ones. Patience when we waited for the first eggs and then the chicks. Anxiety when we saw predators in the neighbourhood of black storks and ibis. Finally, some disappointment when out of five nests observed, only one successfully raised chicks.
Only the white-tailed eagles were successful. They raised three eaglets. And here, the pairs of short-toed snake eagle and black storks, paradoxically, suffered precisely from the white-tailed eagles. One WTE destroyed the only egg of the short-toed snake eagle. The other carried the two storklets that had grown out of their nest. .....

Our pair on the end of March
