Black Stork Nest 2, Jan and Janika, 2021

[Solo]

the active period alternated with the passive one, we saw stretching of the legs and wings, flapping the wings, preening, defecating (PS), some nest work, ... I didn't notice feeding on rewind

Jan arrived (10:08:12)


what kind of food (10:08:23)


edit:
Have all nice day

[Summi]

Good day all

Quite difficult to make out what Jan brought at 10:08 feeding - this something looked like white little thin worms and not fish.

12:06:41 it was probably Janika with small fish - the area around the eye looks more like Janika's

Please feel free to make any corrections to the above.

[Summi]

14:56:21 Jan arrives
no 1 gets a small fish and also pieces of a soft digested fish as well as no 3
Later no 3 gets a frog and there is a tug-of-war for it but at last no 2 is the winner
14:57:28 Jan leaves

Accoding to forecast beginning from Wednesady it will be 21-23 and rainy.

16:41:25 Jan in
There were two big fish as far as I could see - one for no 1 and the other for no 3, no 2 got hold of the fish protruding from no 3's beak but lost the battle. Better luck next time.

[Summi]

It was a whopper that no 2 got, lost and got back and swallowed in a second.
ED: no 2 has a double-size neck

Jan cannot bring more than one such huge fish in his crop.
Exceptional, diligent and caring dad!

20:47 no 1 is stetching his neck, bowing, shaking, evidently he is not feeling well
20:49 no 1 had difficulties to stand up, at last did a very small PS
