Biker,
thank you very much for the others night photos

yes, they both do it when they want the partner to get up (or gets up "voluntarily", when it is uncomfortable or when does not want it - probably)

Have a nice day

Many love thanks to Solo

I am very happy that both black stork couples are so harmonious and loving to each other.
All 4 are wonderful and you can still notice the different character traits.
I only really noticed that this year.
I wish the very best for both couples.

Thanks again for this great documentary

See you soon Sabsy
