Black Stork Nest 2, Jan and Janika, 2021

[balistar]

everyone,

Congrats to the first two little storklets

...

... Also, exactly at 12.50.59-12.51.00 Janika rolls the egg and there is a big crack? It could be a piece of moss though..
I can't take high quality pictures myself, only give the experts here some data

madlaa,
i also saw the big crack and tried to get some pictures while she was rolling the egg, unfortunately it's quite dark at this place currently...., but it is a big crack, it moved together with the rolling.
i don't know how it will come out on the pictures..., the quality is not as i would like it to be, sorry

12.51.00




12.51.01
