NEST

This site is located in the Bolewice Forest District in the Pszczewskie Lakes and Obra Valley Natura 2000 Area. It was rebuilt by members of the Eagle Protection Committee on March 14, 2023. Previously, for two years, only single birds appeared there. The camera was placed at the nest located on a single old sessile oak tree before the arrival of the storks in mid-March 2023. Skierka started breeding with Królewicz.

RESIDENTS

"o Królewiczu nic nie wiemy. Skierka pochodzi z centralnej Polski z Puszczy Bolimowskiej z Nadleśnictwa Skierniewice, gdzie osobiście zakładałem jej logger nożny Rodzice nie byli zaobrączkowani wiec nic o nich nie wiemy."

"We don't know anything about the Królewicz/Prince. Skierka comes from central Poland, from the Bolimów Forest in the Skierniewice Forest District, where I personally installed a foot logger on her The parents were not ringed, so we don't know anything about them."

SKIERKA
a seven year old female (7 CY/hatched 2017) who comes from the Skierniewice Forest District in the Bolimów Forest (Puszcza Bolimowska). There she was ringed and even had a GPS transmitter on. (Previous years we follow her with the "name" BOCZ 07 ŻÓŁTY - Yellow, because she has yellow transmitter.) The female joined her first successful brood in the Wolsztyn Forest District, i.e. about 300 kilometers to the east from her place of origin.

Mr. Dariusz Anderwald:
Ze Skierka wszystko ok, ale jest jeszcze w Grecji. Nie wiem dlaczego nie rusza. Moę dlatego ze zrobiły się tam ostatnio bardzo zimne noce nawet poniżej zera.

Everything is fine with Skierka, but he's still in Greece. I don't know why he's not moving. Maybe because the nights there have been very cold recently, even below zero.

Witam wszystkich w nowym sezonie
Dziś mała niespodzianka, do gniazda zawitał Królewicz.
Królewiczu, dobrze Cię widzieć! ❤
Na czacie była również informacja od Dariusza Anderwald, że dziś Skierka jest na południu Węgier.

ps. Na transmisji jest ustawiony czas letni, więc nim się posługuję w poniższych opisach.

Video by KOO: Powrót Królewicza do gniazda w Bolewicach / The Prince's return to the nest in Bolewice


21 marca! Lepszej daty powrotu na gniazdo Królewicz nie mógł sobie wybrać! Skierka też już tu gna i wczoraj była w N Serbii. To niezwykłe miejsce w Nadleśnictwie Bolewice, które jest prawdziwą jest krainą bocianów czarnych. Niedawno leśnicy odkryli kolejne (trzecie) gniazdo tego gatunku, tym razem na sośnie. Królewicz powrócił do gniazda po 233 dniach nieobecności. W przeciwieństwie do samicy Skierki, ten osobnik nie ma loggera, więc nie wiemy, gdzie zimuje. Jednak najwięcej polskich bocianów czarnych zimę spędza w Sudanie i Etiopii. Jedynie około 10% leci szlakiem zachodnim i przybywa do nas z np. Gambii. W Afryce bociany czarne spędzają około 140-180 dni. Pozostały okres to czas migracji. Najdłużej lecą jesienią, natomiast wiosną o wiele szybciej, ponieważ spieszą się wtedy do swoich gniazd.
by Anderwald
March 21! The Prince couldn't have chosen a better date for his return to the nest! Skierka is also rushing here and was in N Serbia yesterday. This is an extraordinary place in the Bolewice Forest District, which is a true land of black storks. Recently, foresters discovered another (third) nest of this species, this time in a pine tree. The prince returned to the nest after 233 days of absence. Unlike the female Skierka, this individual does not have a logger, so we do not know where it winters. However, most Polish black storks spend the winter in Sudan and Ethiopia. Only about 10% fly the western route and come to us from, for example, Gambia. In Africa, black storks spend about 140-180 days. The remaining period is the migration period. They fly the longest in autumn, while in spring they fly much faster, because they rush to the nests then.
