EGGS
- 1st egg: 17./18.04, 2nd egg: night 19./20.04 , 3rd egg: night 21./22.04 , 4th egg: night 23./24.04

We can expect the first storklet to hatch around May 23 (April 18 + 35 days of incubation = May 23).

Hatching info :
• Incubation period: 32 – 38 days (depending on conditions).
• Internal pipping: The chick chirps inside the egg (usually in the last 2 days).
• External pipping: First cracks appear on the shell.
• Info to PIP watch and hatching (+ videos): viewtopic.php?p=44474#p44474

- loud egg talk
- a lot of new nesting material (mostly soft - moss)
- no view on the external pip/hole

the egg talk began on May 20 - it can take up to 48 hours, fingers crossed!

hole? straw?

URMAS

This spring is very dry also in Estonia. We prepare for additional feeding to start in several places, but to get fish for that is crucial, as well as people to work for to catch, to transport the fish and to follow the feeding success. Also to move baskets, if other species will find these, etc.
