widoczny języczek




ciszę i spokój przerywa przylot osy

[Maria L]

młode zauważyły rodzica, zaczęły "ćwierkać"

[Maria L]

Zica - karmienie

[Maria L]

ten pod skałą jakiś "niewyraźny"


ćwiczenia skrzydeł bez skoków

[Maria L]

jeden z bocianków "podbiegł" szybko do tego, który odszedł od skały
i tak jakby zapytał: - źle się czujesz?




ćwiczenie na krawędzi gniazda

[Maria L]

"niewyraźny" trochę poruszał skrzydłami


...i się rozciągnął

[Maria L]

"niewyraźny" ponownie trochę poruszał skrzydłami


...a na plaży wesoło

CHICKS
- 1st chick: 64 days old,
- 2nd chick: 63 days old,
- 3rd chick: 61 days old
Egg 4: Laid 07 April - unhatched

Stork chicks grow exponentially. 90 days in the nest is like 18-21 years for humans. This means that 1 day in the nest is like almost 3 months for a human child. That is why their transformation is so amazing and fast.

Maiden flight (general data):
- Chicks become capable of flight at the age of 68–72 days.
- Fledging depends on several environmental factors.
- Chicks that stay longer in the nest after fledging have higher survival rates.

Maiden flight data for this nest (Zica & Natalio):
- 2025: 69 days old (accidental flight)
- 2024: 69 days old (forced by attack)

How much water can a Black Stork bring to the nest in one go?
Black storks primarily carry water in their oesophagus and crop (the widened part of their gullet), which allows them to transport significantly more than just what fits in their beak.
According to ornithological studies and camera observations, the water volume per trip is estimated as follows:
- An average load: A mature stork can easily bring around 100 to 200 ml of water at a time (roughly one full glass).
- Maximum capacity: During extreme heatwaves, when parents are highly motivated to cool down the nest, they can stretch their throat capacity to deliver up to 250 to 300 ml of water in a single flight.
