(goshawk) Hawk attack https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 369#p49369 and next
-----
Ringing in Kergu's nest will probably be delayed until it's possible to equip a transmitter, to avoid multiple disturbing to the nest. (info by our Madli shared via email on Tue 1 Jul, 18:55 )

Hawk attacked the nest at 06.01.05

Storklets are all right for now. The danger is very big for them.

The hawk is indeed a very, very great danger to our nestlings. if the predator cannot carry them, it can tear them down or they may fall down while defending themselves, as we have already seen on nests. (they do not lie down like white storks, but on the contrary, they stand erect when defending themselves).

Already at 06.00.23/25 the goshawk is visible on the far left - enemy lands there on a branch.
This time, what probably saved them was that they spotted the enemy too late and were still lying down.

Fingers crossed very, very much - stay safe little storklets!

..... I think a hawk hit a tree trunk. That's the sound I heard.

​maybe he hit a branch with his wing

- the eldest/biggest chick fortunately ducked in front of the approaching predator
