I've noticed that Kerli is limping that's why I went back to check a small portion of 24th
Maybe she will need some help!

Fingers crossed very, very much!

It seems that she is still flying away, not falling over the edge. He probably went somewhere quiet. If there is a joint injury, then all such things take a long time to heal.
I suspect he may have gotten it during migration (that several-day stop in Poland) and now the problem is getting worse.
We will see how serious this movement problem is in the coming days from the GPS transmitter data. Today's transmitter information will be received at 20:06. Yesterday she was about 300 m away from the nest, so she has had this problem at least since yesterday.

Kerli wasn't limping when she arrived
Please check on my video from April 21
"2x Nest of Black Storks #3, Pärnu County, Estonia 2026/04/21"

Even in the early morning of April 24th she was not limping
Video: "Nest of Black Storks #3, Pärnu County, Estonia 2026/04/24"

From 09:48:48 the goshawk flew onto a tree branch
At 09:49 it hoped down to the nest and then back to the branch.
Can a goshawk harm an injured stork?
I asked AI : "Yes, a goshawk can definitely harm an injured black stork. Goshawks are highly aggressive and opportunistic predators that target a wide variety of birds, and an injured, weakened, or younger bird—even a large one like a stork—would be a vulnerable target."
