Unwanted? If buzzards visited all the nests each time instead of goshawks it would be fairy tales with good ending!!!

Makov storklets have been training their wings a lot, one of them(the larger) can stay in the air for a few seconds.

It looks like one of the kids of Tonichkovy is a guy(who is bigger and trains better) and another one is a girl. Those two are pretty different.

:hi: Asteria,
:puzzled: to me no, I see not much difference between these two chicks (btw. usually the first hatched chicks are males - scientific data)

:headroll: congrats, storklet ! Well done :thumbs:

And i have missed it (still sleeping). Thank you, Solo.

The storklet imagined its first trajectory exactly, which was very nice to see.
Likewise his return, the reaction of the two siblings, "hey, how is it out there ?". "i can tell you, it's wonderful".
Then one by one has pooped :laugh:

It looked so cool, as if he/she has done it not for the first time. Great job!
