Black Storks Nesting – Estonia

You are watching wild Black Storks located in the country of Estonia. The bedding is made mostly of sticks mixed with green moss. Eggs are laid every two days during April to early May. Incubation varies between 28-34 days.

Both parents incubate the eggs. Incubation starts after the last egg is laid. The parents keep their young shaded and protected until about 2-3 weeks after they hatch.  The young start standing up in the nest at about 4 weeks of age and fledge at 8-9 weeks old.

Other nest now…😳.
Not kergu-s nest and not the one with the eggs. Must be a 3. nest.
Kergus nest has fresh moss in it and the 2 big branches over it.
