Black storks- very rare and secretive birds, so studying them is quite difficult. They live in the overgrown old forests, in the foothills, mainly near water bodies, away from human settlements. Sometimes they hover for a long time around the nest, in flight resembling any other stork - stretching their necks and legs, spreading their wings wide. When flying, black storks emit beautiful screams that sound like “chi-li” or “chi-ling” by ear.

Black storks - birds are monogamous, pairs remain with them for life. Storks begin nesting immediately after their return from the warm regions, in late March - early April. The couple makes a nest on a tree, occasionally on the ledges of rocks, constructing it from large dry branches, fastened together by clay and earth. The same nest can serve for many years, just renewing from year to year. In Belovezhskaya Pushcha in Belarus there was a nest in which storks hatched chicks fourteen years in a row. Over time, the nests turn into huge semicircular structures with a diameter of up to one and a half meters. Black storks do not form colonies and settle separately, so one pair usually occupies a large territory.
Having arranged the nest, the male invites the female to reproduce, performing the mating dance. He fluffs up a white undertail and gives out hoarse cries.
Females lay 4 to 7 eggs, less often 2-3. Eggs are laid at intervals of 2 days, and incubation 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 are not born at the same time, covered with white or grayish fluff, 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 at the age of 35-40 days. At the age of 50 days, having fully fledged, but still being in the nest, the chicks gain the weight of their parents, then lose weight a little, as the parents feed them less intensively at this time. Young storks aged 64-65 days fly out of the nest. Already in early August, families and small flocks of black storks begin to move south, although with plenty of food they can be delayed until October.
These birds become sexually mature at the age of three.

Black storks feed on fish, frogs, lizards, small snakes, rodents, large insects, mollusks. For food, birds fly quite far - for five, and sometimes ten kilometers from the nest, to hunt in swamps, shallow rivers or in wet meadows. Parents feed the chicks 4-5 times a day. One case is known when a bird brought to its chicks at once about fifty frogs with a total weight of half a kilogram. Food for posterity storks burp.
Black stork - one of the rarest birds in the world. Despite the wide habitat, the number of these birds continues to be very low. In Russia there are three regions with a relatively high number of black storks - this is the Kaliningrad region, Ciscaucasia and Primorye. In the remaining areas of the settlement, storks are random and rare. In total, from 2300 to 2500 pairs nest in Russia. According to some estimates, the number of storks is declining, according to others it remains stably low.

Black storks do not have natural enemies, so the main factors determining their numbers are considered to be a reduction in food supply and deforestation of habitable forests.
The presence of a nest of black storks in Russia is a sufficient basis for declaring a reserved territory or, at least, restricting access of a large number of people to this territory. Bilateral agreements have also 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 attempts were made to cross black storks with white ones, and black stork males even begin to care for white females, but due to large differences in mating rituals, females usually do not accept these courtships.

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

We recognize the male Karl by the rings on his paws and the transmitter behind him. Katya’s female is not ringed. The nest is put in order and we expect the appearance of the first egg.

Nowadays, he has covered in detail what is happening in the nest of a black stork.

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

Black storks on the day of arrival.

For a pair of black storks nesting in Karula National Park, we will be following the third year. About the first camera installation and background on the Explain pageELF (Estonian Nature Fund) there is a detailed photo report. By the time the camera was installed this year, the old nest was partially collapsed, which is why we built a nearby "artificial" nest.

Construction of an "artificial" nest.

Last year’s nest fell apart.

Probably, the storks themselves would have tried to correct the collapsed nest, but it is not known whether it would have survived the nesting process. The carrier branch of the old nest has dried up, and the rest of the structure is also dilapidated. We managed to take some of the material for the new nest from the old one, but we also used spruce branches and poles.

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

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

Camera transfer via linkWi- Fi directly to the mastTELE2, located in Ansla, through the antennaMikrotik. Next, the signal through the cable goes to the serverEENetwhere the stream is created. In parallel, a stream is created throughYouTube. Different users like different formats. It is known that some restrimers use this black stork camera. So, for example, according to the environmentok, from the broadcast of broadcasts from the camera of black storks in 2017, there were 4 million views. But we, of course, do not know all the restrimers.

Using the stream coming from the nest cameras is not prohibited, however, if possible, please inform us about this (see contacts below or send a message tourmas@ kotkas. ee) The “godfathers” supporting us are needed for each chamber, because Every year, some components must be replaced. For this, we have no project support.Kik (Center for Environmental Investment) supported the installation of cameras, their removal and maintenance. We also received some donations in support of the camera.

A camera is installed near the socketAxis F41 with a microphone made by Omar. This camera of black storks was also mentioned in in the 2017 AXIS annual report . We hope that our recommendations will be taken into account when further improving the cameras. And all in order to transmit the best quality video and audio signal to you.

People who watched the life of black storks (Katya and Karla) in Karula last year launched a fundraising process in order to provide three chicks with transmitters this year, to track them after they leave the nest. We hope that the nesting will be successful, and we can realize it! Details of what is happening in the nest can be found on.

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 camera of black storks work, many have contributed:

Eagle Club Kotkaklubi - Socket searches and camera setup
EENet - Stream encoding and distribution to its users, technical support, recording material
Beta - Grupp - camera testing and tuning, microphone building
TELE 2 - mobile mast of the receiving antenna, installation of the antenna on the mast,provofiber optic cable
