According to data from the Nature Conservation Agency and AS \u201cSadales t\u012bkls\u201d (ST), 7,319 stork nests have been recorded on overhead power line poles in recent years. Approximately 80% of Latvia\u2019s White Stork population nests on electricity supply infrastructure; therefore, care for the White Stork is one of AS \u201cSadales t\u012bkls\u201d\u2019s key corporate social responsibility priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first year, breeding was unsuccessful; however, in 2025 three young birds fledged from the nest. In late March, the female from two years earlier, named <em>Mamma<\/em>, returned to the nest together with a male later named <em>Tio<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April, as in the previous breeding attempt, five eggs were laid, and all chicks successfully hatched in the second half of May. Three young storks survived and left the nest on 4 August. The last bird observed at the nest was <em>Tio<\/em>, who departed on 15 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#1c8e3c\">More information about White Storks can be found<a href=\"https:\/\/enciklopedija.lv\/skirklis\/202384-baltais-st%C4%81r%C4%B7is\"> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#1c8e3c\">Information about White Stork nest platforms can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/\/www.daba.gov.lv\/lv\/media\/1727\/download?attachment\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":499,"template":"","class_list":["post-1287","livestream","type-livestream","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) - Latvijas Dabas fonds<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ldf.lv\/livestreams\/baltie-starki-ciconia-ciconia-tukuma-novada\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) - Latvijas Dabas fonds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Since 2020, the live stream from the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) nest in Tukums Municipality has been provided in cooperation with AS \u201cSadales t\u012bkls\u201d.
