all

In spite of it has rained and it's cooler, the food problem seems not to have improved.
It's difficult to watch Jan having now a lot of trouble to get one big fish regurgitated though earlier he brought even 2-3 in his crop.

Solo, thank you for today's overview and for catching great shots.

I don't remember something like that on the nests of black storks
bill wrestling

20:51 At first it was like a game, but then it became like a fight. One storcklet stuck its entire beak down the other's throat. Probably also because they are hungry.

peace in black and white

The storklets have had little food today and are in stress. Jan comes less and has trouble regurgitating.

[Solo]

Summi yes - less and has trouble regurgitating
I am not sure if it is already stress for them (I don't think so yet) - all ate, No 3 maybe less

[asteria]

Today was a tough day in both nests.

[Summi]

asteria, thank you for advising.
Yes, there were only two feedings observed on Karula nest today.

[Solo]

in Latvia/Sigulda four feedings (by Liz), last info at 20h camera time

.....I don't remember something like that on the nests of black storks
bill wrestling

Solo that is not new to me. I saw it already - it is for me a normal behavior. I guess with males
I think it was at the Karula Nest. They stuck beak in beak for a long time. I was afraid they would break their beaks

[Solo]

normal behaviour for sure, but I don't remember that
fortunately it took a short time
