Sorry to leave you a little alone right now. But I read what you posted every evening.
Many thanks again.

Swenja is the Chief Chronicler of Karl II
Very noble, isn't it?

[Swenja]

Hello Anne7 and Trine
You are welcome. I currently have the time and like to do it. Karl II is an interesting being!

"Chief Chronicler of Karl II" ... haha, I knew something was strange.

I would like to express my gratitude to the chronicler of His Majesty Karl II and his Fiancée Princess Kaia.

[Swenja]

Hello Anne7
In a confidential conversation I have to explain to His Majesty Karl II that he has very pretty butt feathers. But his princess behind so many feathers doesn't come into its own.



You can only see the delicate feet of the princess.

His Majesty, of course, cannot help but be so imposing.

[Swenja]

Thanks for the beautiful pictures. @Anne7

The two look so cute. I expect we'll see these black storks here again next year
if both stay healthy and alive.

[Summi]

Dear Swenja and Anne, the two chroniclers of His Majesty King II and Her Royal Highness Princess Kaia (I hope I got the titles right ), thank you so much!
Oh, how happy I am that they are both seeing each other and still dating! And letting us see and know about their relationship!

[Trine]

Come to think of it, the thread really is a chronicle. Given that a chronicle is a chronological record of events.
Strictly speaking, it's a nest chronicle, but reference to Karl II makes it sound better

Hi everyone on this excellent Forum! :-)
Much appreciation for your great contribution, wonderful videos, photos, comments, as I am also following YouTube site and the chat.
I've searched the site https://www.xeno-canto.org/sounds and, surprisingly, found only, relatively, few samples for Ciconia Nigra, mainly from Estonia, as this one:
https://www.xeno-canto.org/sounds/uploa ... 2_0500.mp3
Continue to send your numerous recordings, maybe we'll be able to listen to Karl II' s songs, calls etc. much more on that excellent site.
Best regards. :-)
