​​Kui toitu on vähe, siis visatakse noorim pesast välja ja lennutatakse eemale ja jääb kaamerast välja aga siin olla kõik kaameras. On nähtud, et tibu on noka vahel ja pesast eemale minnakse aga edasi.?
When there is little food, the youngest chick is thrown out of the nest and carried away, ending up out of camera view — but here all of them seem to stay on camera. It has been seen that a chick is held in the beak and taken away from the nest, but what happens after that?

The adult drops the chick a short distance from the nest, usually on the ground or in nearby vegetation. The chick dies quickly from exposure, starvation, or predation.
It is always connected to food shortage or a chick that is too weak or ill to survive.
Black storks lay more eggs than they can raise in a poor year. The extra chicks are a “buffer” for good years. When conditions are bad, adults reduce the brood to match available food.

The chick closest to us/the camera ate the least - the smallest one ate very good

There is also now a fish basket in the stream near the Jõgevamaa webcam nest. And a b-stork visits it.

Thx a lot!
