The Black stork (Ciconia nigra)

The Black stork nesting site in Ogre County has been known since at least 2003, but the nest itself was only discovered in January 2021.

It is believed that this nest may have been built in 2010, following the abandonment of a previous nest. In 2021, there were no chicks, but in 2022, three young storks were successfully hatched. Unlike the previous nest in the area, where one of the adult birds was ringed, neither of the adult black storks in the 2022 nest were ringed.
