Hello everyone :-)

CHICKS 🐥🐥🐥
- 1st chick: 69 days old,
- 2nd chick: 68 days old,
- 3rd chick: 66 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)

AI to the "boat"
For an immediate, real-time emergency response to stop boaters or swimmers actively disturbing the black stork nest, you must bypass general email forms and contact Spanish environmental police or regional rangers directly via phone.

1. Call Emergency Services (Quickest Action)
* Call 112 (Emergencias Extremadura): This is the immediate universal emergency number in Spain. State clearly that there is an environmental offense happening right now ("un delito medioambiental en curso") at La Cantera de Alcántara.
* The 112 operators are fully integrated with regional park authorities and can dispatch the closest available patrols.

2. Contact Specialized Environmental Authorities
If you want to reach the specific forces directly responsible for protecting the International Tagus Natural Park wildlife:

Call SEPRONA (Guardia Civil): Dial 062. This connects you directly to the Servicio de Protección de la Naturaleza, Spain’s specialized green police force. They have the authority to intercept, identify, and fine the illegal boaters on the spot. [2]
* Alert the Regional Rangers: The [Agentes del Medio Natural de Extremadura] patrol this area daily. To report wildlife in imminent danger, you can call the emergency wildlife notification line for the region at +34 900 351 858 (monitored 24/7).

What Details to Provide the Dispatcher
When you get an agent on the phone, quickly provide these exact details:

1. Location: La Cantera del Cabezo, Alcántara (Cáceres). Mention that they are violating the strictly closed nesting perimeter ("zona de exclusión de nidificación").
2. What you see: The exact number of people, types of boats (e.g., kayaks, inflatable rafts), and their distance from the cliff.
3. Evidence: Mention that the violation is currently being broadcast live on the public black stork stream ("en directo por la cámara web del nido de cigüeña negra"), meaning their actions are being recorded in real-time.
