On Friday, March 21, at 12:34 p.m., the first stork of the season landed in the nest in Vlaha. It signaled its arrival by bill-clattering, then began to adjust the branches around the edge of the nest. It did not fly off for more than four hours. It was resting from the fatigue of its long migration. Since then, it has only left the nest for short intervals to find food. It is awaiting its mate. For the time being, we are not ready to conclude whether it is Miska, Leske, or perhaps a new resident that has arrived at the nest. The stork's beak is more similar to last year's Leske, but its eyes do not seem to be entirely Leske's. We will be able to take a step forward in identification when there are already two in the nest and they mate, as during mating, the male is on top and the female is on the bottom. We eagerly await further developments!
