Hi Doris

You need to start a new thread for 2012.
You deserve the honor of being the first
Wishing for a successful stork season

Cheral

Hi Cheral, its great to see you again.
I hope to see all our stork friends from foreign countries in 2012.

The stork cam will be online again at the 23rd March.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for a safe return of our storks and for a successful season in 2012.

If you want to see where our storks are, here is a map where you can follow storks with a transmitter.
The Vetschau storks are travelling the eastern route along the Balkan, Turkey, Israel, Egypt.

Here you need to set the button at "Reise 2011/2012" at the following names

Anni
Gustav
Michael
Nick

to see the routes on the map.

Nick is taking the western route and winters in Spain. He is already at home.

It is wonderful to see Vetschau again.
The sparrows sound very happy.
My fingers are crossed for Cico's safe return.

Hello Doris, Su and biggi44

I took a quick look at the map of the travels of the 4 storks, quite interesting. Are any of these our Vetschau storks? I haven't kept a list of names and don't have time now to look back through previous postings.

I will check back in when I have a chance.

Good morning Cheral,
no, there aren't any Vetschau storks endowed with a transmitter.
Slowly the east migrating storks are coming back to their nests.
So maybe the Vetschau storks will be at home in one week.
The storks migrating the western route are nearly all back and have already started laying egg.

Bye and have a great Sunday

Good morning
At the Stradower ponds on Sunday noon... the stork is back.
This is not far away from Vetschau
Maybe will a Vetschau Stork fast back return, too
Have a nice day

Hello Tina and Doris,

Just checking in Still an empty nest.
Take care,
Cheral

We have a visitor.

An Eurasian jay is visiting the nest.

It is a cousin of the blue jay or the scrub jay in the USA.



And now we wait, wait, wait....
