Young Stork receive their Bands

The three young storks of the Vetschau eyrie were banded today by Mr. Peter Schonert. Despite the new type of bands they were secured at the bottom of the legs. The banding authority at Hiddensee ordered the change. Presumably problems arose by banding above the leg joint also (collection of excrement). We do not have the details yet. The band numbers of the young storks, whose gender we don't know by the way, are: H 2820, H 2821 and H 2822. At the time of banding we also raised the camera. Thusly the viewing angle has been increased to accommodate the growing young birds.
