Here's Tiina working on her nest. She's been flying back and forth all morning....

The video I uploaded to YT was around 309 MB! Best to watch it on YT and click on the large player.

Have to be a night owl to watch this nest, if you live on the U.S.!

I'm counting 5 eggs at Mannheim! :)

I can't seem to get the Black Stork cam to open??

Patti, it should open with Windows Media Player if you click on direct stream.

White Storks in Poland (1)
There are about 50 thousand breeding pairs of white storks in Poland (out of about 200 thousand worldwide).There are many nests with cameras.
One of the best known is in the village of Przygodzice (difficult name, isn't it?).
The address of the camera: http://www.bociany.ec.pl/
Video is for the Windows Media Player.
One has to click on the link: PRZEKAZ STRUMIENIOWY (STREAMING) to activate the Player.

Thank rysx! :) Great cam! I'm watching now ... waiting for her to stand up.

I was watching a few others last night... (or this morning, I guess!)

Borheim ... 3 chicks I think.

Mannheim ... 3 again ... although I'm pretty sure they had 5 eggs.

And .....Hochstadt . . . 3 again!

I do think there is a second hatch here ... new piece of egg shell.

Przygodzice One more to go!
They look healthy and move vigorously.

Warszewo
Just few more days (maybe even tomorrow) - and then the real work begins...


Estonia Black Stork
Just few more days (maybe even tomorrow) - and then the real work begins...

Some really great work here

Przygodzice
And now there are five

Warszewo
No hatches yet...
But Tosia (female) brought a piece of white plastic to the nest and it stuck to her beak. She tried to get rid of it but was unable to do so for quite a long time. It would be sufficient to hold it with her foot, but somehow she did not have this idea. And her partner did not help her either. People were giving them advice over the chat but they did not read it.

Estonia Black storks
There is probably a pip in one egg.

And there is a sound (like quacking) that can be heard, especially when the parent gets up - sounds of chicks from inside eggs!
