Dear Solo thank you

video includes both events


I hope all will end well

[Treia]

Hello all,
and thanks for all fine comments and pictures and videos!

But oh no, already the fourth egg to our great couple!
Consequently I have to say again that hopefully all will still goes well !

First night apart... It's a special coincidence that Jan and Janika changed their nightly behavior as soon as they got their names. Maybe they thought that now we have to behave like other blackstorks, or then not.

...I hope all will end well

Liz,
thank you very much for this video

we can only hope - perhaps the conditions will suit them, adult storks seem to be the right pair

I'm less worried about this nest here than about the Latvian one. I was happy to see that there is no fourth egg.

​11.42 back incubating

time stamp is scaled down - is better readable (bigger contrast)

[Solo]
