In addition to beautiful landscapes, guests sometimes appear in the camera in all their glory....
Although the storks are long gone, we can still watch the camera. The views in Trzciniec are beautiful!...
On August 23rd, Trzcinka left the nest and set out on her long journey. This concluded this year's season for the stork family. Now it remains to wait for their return next year....
After hot days, a storm visited the nest. Trzcinka, before her departure, had to face the whims of the weather....
After Przepiórek's departure, Trzcinka remained alone in the nest. August days are hot, so she rests and gathers strength for her own journey....
On August 16th, Przepiórek set off on his long journey to Africa. We wish him a safe flight and look forward to his return next season!...
The season is slowly coming to an end, and storks spend less time in the nest. In the camera, we can admire not only their last moments before migration but also picturesque sunsets....
Although the young storks have already flown away, the nest is still not empty. Przepiórek guards his place and firmly repels an intruder's attack, not allowing them to take over the nest....
Though the breeding season has ended, Przepiórek and Trzcinka must still watch over their home. There is no lack of intruders trying to take over the nest, but our pair effectively repels the attacks....
After the young departed, the nest didn't empty completely. Przepiórek and Trzcinka still spend time in it together, resting after an intense breeding season....
On July 30th, Florcia and Chmurka left the nest, beginning their first long migration to Africa. Thousands of kilometers full of challenges lie ahead of them. We keep our fingers crossed for their safe flight!...
When the parents are away, the young ones take the initiative and arrange the nest their way. Moving sticks, scattering hay – all to the best standards of stork youth!...
Parents spend time hunting, and the young ones perfect their flight skills. More and more often the nest remains empty – this is a sign that the storks are preparing for independence....
Although the young storks increasingly stay alone in the nest, sometimes one of the parents accompanies them. This time we caught a unique moment – the whole stork family together!...
The night in the nest passes peacefully. The young storks sleep beside one of the parents, regenerating for another day of exercises and new challenges....
After intense exercise and the first flights, the young storks found a moment to rest. Peace reigns in the nest as the boćki regenerate before the next challenges....
This morning Chmurka ventured on her first flight. She took to the air and after some time safely returned to the nest. A major step in her stork adventure!...
Florcia is flying more boldly, leaving the nest for longer. Meanwhile, Chmurka doesn't waste time when she is left alone – she trains intensely, preparing for her first flight....
Friday brought great emotions to the nest! Before 7 AM, Piórko made his first flight, but unfortunately he did not manage to land safely back in the nest and did not return to it. However, Florcia tried her hand in the afternoon – her flight was a success, and she returned to the nest without any problems. Now we are waiting for Chmurka's first flight!...
The young storks are getting better at using wind gusts for their training. They jump so high that momentarily only their legs are visible. Getting closer to the first flights!...
The transmission from the stork nest is not just about watching the life of the stork family. Sometimes other winged guests appear in the frame, like pigeons, which are eager to peek into the stork's home....
A storm passed over the nest at night, but the storks bravely survived it. Despite strong wind and rain, the morning found them whole and safe. This is another test that shows how well they handle more difficult conditions....
The young storks are training their wings intensely – sometimes all at once! The nest is getting crowded, and the jumping and wing-flapping make it look like a real stork workout area....
Piórko, Florcia, and Chmurka present themselves in full sun! The young storks stand more confidently on their legs, and their feathers shine in the summer rays. This is a special moment before they set off on their first longer flights....
The young storks are training their wings more and more boldly. One of them jumped so high that its wing almost brushed the parent! The nest is getting crowded – a sign that first flights are very close....
Small storks know perfectly well when feeding time arrives. When a parent returns to the nest, they greet them with energetic wing flapping and demand food by tugging at the adult's beak. This is natural behavior for the young that helps them get their desired meal....
Thanks to the involvement of chat users, our young storks have received names! From today, we have Piórko, Florcia, and Chmurka in the nest. Now we can follow their further development with even more affection....
Parents not only feed their young but also take care of the nest. They regularly bring fresh hay and twigs, strengthening the structure and providing the chicks with the best possible conditions for growth....
The young storks are training their wings more intensely. They jump higher and higher, lifting their feet off the nest, and sometimes... they land on their siblings! Although the movements are still a bit clumsy, the first flights are fast approaching....
During the season, the nest is often visited by intruders. This time, one of the young storks decided to independently scare away an uninvited guest. Although his clattering is not yet as loud as that of the adults, he certainly put his whole heart into it....
A stork's diet isn't just natural food such as insects, rodents, or amphibians. Unfortunately, storks often swallow trash, which can be dangerous for them. The photo shows a young stork with a rubber band – such waste is a serious threat to their health. That is why it is so important to care for the environment and not leave trash in nature!...
After a light breakfast, the oldest of the young storks took up intense training. He practiced flapping his wings and even tried to lift his feet off the ground simultaneously. Each day is a step closer to the first flight!...
Sometimes storks spend time outside the nest, especially when their young grow and no longer require constant heating. Today one of the parents rested on a street lamp, from which they had a good view of the surrounding area. This is common behavior in stork families....
The young storks are growing rapidly and becoming larger. Today they got wet during the rain while the parent watched over them. Fortunately, stork feathers dry quickly, so the little ones will be dry again soon....
Although they are still hard to see, three small heads can sometimes be spotted on the camera. This confirms that there are already three chicks in the nest! The parents are taking careful care of them, providing warmth and food....
The behavior of the parents suggests that there are already three small storks in the nest. Increasing feeding and careful care indicate that the family is growing. Soon we should see the little ones in full glory!...
From the behavior of the parents, it can be assumed that the first chicks have appeared in the nest. The storks bend over the nesting hollow more often and feed the as-yet-invisible little ones. There may even be two already! Let's watch as our stork family grows....
The storks continue to carefully incubate the eggs, changing regularly. While one parent warms the future chicks, the other goes hunting to ensure they have the strength to continue caring for the nest. Thanks to such cooperation, the eggs are protected all the time, and the storks can efficiently share duties....
The storks continue to patiently incubate the eggs, and peace reigns in the nest. The screenshot shows the greeting ceremony – a characteristic ritual where storks greet each other with bill-clattering, head-raising, and bowing. This is not only a way to strengthen bonds but also confirmation that everything in the nest is fine....
Our stork pair is diligently incubating the eggs, taking turns in the nest. Although their number remains a mystery, we might even see five! We wait with anticipation for the first chicks....
Trzcinka patiently incubates the eggs, and meanwhile, Przepiórek returns to the nest. He is easy to recognize – he stands out with characteristic black feathers on the back. The stork pair efficiently takes turns, caring for the future generation....
According to plan, Trzcinka laid the third egg today. These are unfortunately not visible, but we can tell by our female stork's behavior....
As we expected, after two days Trzcinka laid the second egg. After a few attempts she succeeded and it is likely that there will be more eggs....
Eight days after the second stork returned, we have the first egg in the nest. Trzcinka laid it at 8:52 PM and together with Przepiórek they will be able to take care of it....
Przepiórek didn't make his partner wait long. From today they are together and can begin their breeding season. Let's look forward to the first eggs, which may be here next week....
Today we welcomed Trzcinka back to our nest; she preceded Przepiórek in her journey. She appeared in the evening, after sunset, and stayed for the night....
