Black storks- very rare and secretive birds, so it is rather difficult to study them. They live in overgrown old forests, in the foothills, mainly near water bodies, away from human settlements. Sometimes they soar for a long time in the nest area, resembling any other stork in flight - stretching out their neck and legs, spreading their wings wide. When flying, black storks emit beautiful cries that sound like "chi-li" or "chi-lin".

Black storks- birds are monogamous, pairs remain with them for life. Storks start nesting immediately after their return from warm regions, in late March - early April. The couple makes a nest on a tree, occasionally on rock ledges, building it from large dry branches held together by clay and earth. One and the same nest can serve for many years, simply being renewed from year to year. There was a nest in Belovezhskaya Pushcha in Belarus, in which storks bred chicks for fourteen years in a row. Over time, the nests turn into huge semicircular structures up to one and a half meters in diameter. Black storks do not form colonies and settle alone, so one pair usually occupies a large area.
Having arranged a nest, the male invites the female to reproduce, performing mating dance... It fluffs up its white undertail and lets out hoarse screams.
Females lay 4 to 7 eggs, rarely 2-3. Eggs are laid at intervals of 2 days and hatching begins with the first egg. Quite often, one or two eggs in a clutch are unfertilized. Both parents incubate eggs alternately for 30 days. Chicks do not hatch at the same time, covered with white or grayish down, with a bright yellow-orange beak, and for the first 10 days they only lie in the nest, unable to even sit down. They begin to get up on their feet at the age of 35-40 days. At the age of 50 days, having already fully fledged, but still in the nest, the chicks acquire the weight of their parents, then lose weight a little, since the parents feed them less intensively at this time. Young storks fly out of the nest at the age of 64-65 days. Already at the beginning of August, families and small flocks of black storks begin to move southward, although with an abundance of food they can linger until October.
These birds become sexually mature at the age of three.

Black storks feed on fish, frogs, lizards, small snakes, rodents, large insects, molluscs. For food, birds fly quite far - five, and sometimes ten kilometers from the nest, to hunt in swamps, shallow rivers or damp meadows. Parents feed chicks 4-5 times a day. There is one known case when a bird brought about fifty frogs with a total weight of half a kilogram to its chicks at once. Storks regurgitate food for their offspring.
Black stork- one of the rarest birds in the world. Despite the wide habitat, the number of these birds remains very low. There are three regions in Russia with a relatively high number of black storks - the Kaliningrad region, Ciscaucasia and Primorye. In other areas, stork settlements are sporadic and rare. In total, from 2300 to 2500 pairs nest on the territory of Russia. According to some estimates, the number of storks is decreasing, according to others, it remains stably low.

Black storks have no natural enemies, so the main factors determining their number are the reduction of the food supply and the deforestation of habitable forests.
The presence of a nest of black storks in Russia is a sufficient reason for declaring a protected area or, at least, restricting the access of a large number of people to this territory. Also, bilateral agreements have been concluded with Japan, Korea, India and the DPRK on the protection of wintering birds. Of course, the black stork is listed in the Red Book.
It is curious that in zoos there have been attempts to cross black storks with whites, and males of black storks even begin to court female white storks, but due to large differences in mating rituals, females usually do not accept these courtship.

This year, black storks arrived at their renewed nest on April 8th. On the same day, with a small interval, first the male, then the female.

We recognize the male Karl by the rings on his paws and the transmitter behind his back. The female Katya is not ringed. The nest has been cleaned up and we are waiting for the first egg to appear.

Today he covered in detail what is happening in the nest of the black stork.

Urmas Sellis will write more about the nest, the arrival of its owners and the whole event.

Black storks on the day of arrival.

Photo from the sequence is selected Hagnat from the Nature Calendar forum.

A pair of black storks nesting in National park Karula, we will be following for the third year. About the first installation of the camera and the background on the page explainELF(Estonian Fund for Nature) there is a detailedphoto report... By the time the camera was installed this year, the old nest was partially collapsed, which is why we built an “artificial” nest nearby.

Construction of an "artificial" nest.

Last year's nest fell apart.

Probably, the storks themselves would have tried to fix the collapsed nest, but it is not known whether it would have withstood the nesting process. The supporting branch of the old nest has dried up and the rest of the structure is also dilapidated. Some of the material for the new nest was taken from the old one, but we also used spruce branches and poles.

"Artificial" nest and old natural nest (top view).

Since the camera was installed late in the evening, its angle had to be further corrected. And still not quite the right angle, I went over something with the angle.

Both birds arrived at the nest on April 8, 2018.

The transmission from the camera is carried out through the linkWi- Fidirectly to the mastTELE2, located in Ansla, via the antennaMikrotik... Then the signal goes through the cable to the serverEENetwhere the stream is created. In parallel, the stream is created throughYoutube... Different users like different formats. Some restreamers are known to use this black stork camera. So, for example, according to the environmentok, Black storks' live streaming had 4 million views in 2017. But, naturally, we do not know all the restreamers.

The use of the stream coming from the cameras of the nest is not prohibited, however, if possible, we ask you to inform us about it (see the contacts below or send a message tourmas@ kotkas. ee). Supporting us "godfathers" are needed for each camera, tk. some components must be exchanged every year. We do not have any project support for this.KIK(Investment Center in environment) supported the installation of cameras, their removal and maintenance. We also received some donations to support the camera.

A camera is installed near the nestAXIS F41 with a microphone made by Omar. This chamber of black storks was also mentioned in in the AXIS annual report 2017 ... We hope that our recommendations will be taken into account in further improvements to the cameras. And everything in order to convey to you best quality video and sound signal.

People who watched the life of black storks (Kati and Karla) in Karula started a fundraising process last year to provide three chicks this year with transmitters to track them after they leave the nest. We hope the nesting is successful and we can make it happen! Details of what is happening in the nest can be found at.

For comparison, we advise you to look at what is happening in the nests of black storks in other countries:

Latvia; Hungary

To make the black stork camera work, many have contributed:

Eagle lovers club Kotkaklubi - looking for a nest and installing a camera
EENet - stream encoding and sending it to users, technical support, material recording
Beta - Grupp - testing the camera and setting up, building a microphone
TELE 2 - mobile mast of the receiving antenna, installation of the antenna on the mast,provofiber optic cable box
