Dear Friends,
It's been 3 weeks since I came to recce a location that would give me a clear view of the Black Storks nest and today was my first visit proper to start filming them.
A week ago I came up the mountain to recover the trailcams I had placed in the previous video and was happy to see that firstly the storks had arrived back and reclaimed their nest and secondly happy to see some lovely footage on the cams of Roe deer, wild boar, the black stork and a curious Beech Marten.
I left it a week after recovering the trailcams so that the foliage might grow out a little bit to provide me with a bit more cover as the last thing I want to do is scare the storks off the nest especially as the location I'm shooting from is only about 70 meters away from their tree and level with the nest.
Arriving up at my new shooting location I found the female nestled down and not fazed by my arrival on scene. A short while later her mate arrived but frustratingly a technical problem with my drive meant I missed the shot of him flying in and then again when he left.
A few minutes after the female left as well and almost 3 hours later had not returned leading me to believe they had taken the long
