I was out all afternoon, I just got home a moment ago.
I'm reading disturbing news on YouTube chat. Big thx to all for reporting and the time-stamps!

Overview:
- 16.43.02 Iksi is flying from one branch to another, at 16.52.39 Iksi is back on the branch
- 16.55.12 Iksi flew from the upper branch to the branch above the nest
- 17.04.53 Iksi has crashed



- wing flapping,chirping by Iksi (and missed feeding)

4:53 PM Sandro Walach​
​- 17:52:32 iksi didn't get all the way up and seems like he crashed all the way down?
4:53 PM Hulbi Lorm​​
- This time he fell.

- there is Iksi at 17.52.33 visible



I have impression storklet is flying around/siblings are observing this way the area and I saw "food anticipation behaviour"/they react so to every adult stork but also to siblings sometimes ... - it is not easy to fly back to the nest


5:16 PM Sandro Walach​
​- you can see him on the ground at 18:15:43



6:55 PM Sandro Walach​
​- at 19:35:45, in the lower-left corner of the screen, above where it say 2025, you can see movement. and again at around 19:37:44

FINGERS CROSSED VERY VERY MUCH! STAY SAFE LITTLE ONE!

- at 21.04.19 the transmission has broken down

Mr. Urmas Sellis answered me:
.....
It is risky to go there, as probably the elder chicks may fly out of nest if some human appears under the nest ...
The way to nest is really tough and long walk. Madli knows it.
.....



yes, we just recently unfortunately observed it on the nest in Notecka Forest (Poland) : https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 561#p50561
