Black storks (Ciconia nigra) have returned to Latvia earlier than in previous years, according to information on the website "Dabasdati.lv," where nature observers record their observations.
The first black stork was spotted in Skrunda municipality on March 5.
Until now, the earliest sighting of a black stork in Latvia was recorded on March 9.
According to information on the website "putni.lv," black storks winter in northeastern and eastern Africa. These birds used to be fairly common nesters in Latvia, but their numbers have declined significantly.
Between 2013 and 2017, 94–140 pairs nested. The black stork is a critically endangered species that is listed in the Latvian Red Book.
