Stork Hrytsko: the national park in the Poltava region launched a 24-hour stream from the stork’s nest



In Poltava Oblast, a camera was installed in a stork’s nest and a 24-hour broadcast was launched on YouTube. The camera was installed on the bird’s nest in the Pyryatynsky National Park in the village of Lelyaki – the stork is the talisman of this village and always comes to its nest in the spring. The round-the-clock stream continues on the “Leleka Hrytsko” YouTube channel. In the video, you can see the nest of the stork Hrytsk and his “wife” Odarka, the father of the family and the little chicks. Screenshot from the stream “Stork Hrytsko” National park employees explained that they wait for storks every year, and before the full-scale invasion, they wanted to meet them in a special way. In this they were supported by “Lelyakivska Syrovarnya”. “We have been keeping records of white storks for many years. One of the interesting characters is the black stork Hrytsko, who has been living in Lelyaki for several years. In the autumn, during a storm, his nest could not hold up and fell,” the description for the stream says. An artificial platform was specially made for the meeting of the lilacs and a video camera was supposed to be installed for surveillance, but the war began. “The surveillance devices, which at that time were in Saltivka near Kharkiv, were hidden by a park employee in a cellar. And only after the liberation of Kharkiv Oblast did they get them,” the initiators write. Read also: Red-listed tropical birds have arrived in the Tuzlivski lymani National Park.

The stork Hrytsko turned out to be a good father and during the nesting season of 2022 “put on its wings” 5 chicks – the most in the “Pyryatynskyi” national park. “An important success factor was mowing the meadows in the vicinity of Lelyaki. The cows get hay from the natural meadows of the national park, the storks get clean feedlots for gathering food for young animals, and we all get preserved nature,” the national park says. Nowadays, Hrytsko has returned again from warm regions. The collected video material will be used by scientists and students of the department of ecology and zoology of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University to study the nesting behavior of storks.
