The storklets left in the nest are still busy together

The mother has already left on migration. The last time that she came to feed the young was on Monday evening.

Of the young birds one has not come to the nest for the fourth day, so we will not see him any more in the nest this year. It is usual for black storks to head for the migration separately.

The male still fed the ones left in the nest once in the afternoon and the young birds stay quite long, becoming acquainted with the surroundings on flight exercises.

Tomorrow is another new day
