Today, the chicks saw the first time the rain and hail.

Never seen the fighting of small storks. And in this nest compete. Probably little food is still.

The sense of smell leads storks to freshly mown meadows

Birds' sense of smell is much better than expected. This is what researchers from the Max Planck Institutes in Radolfzell and Mainz found out on the basis of studies with white storks. The smell of mown grass attracts storks to mown meadows to look for snails, frogs or small rodents

btw. she hadn't ring so nobody know her age (it is know only since she lived with Mr. Vokič)

Yes, she passed away. We all come to an end. In the sixth month, when she came down from the nest, she fell. She was there at my house for about ten days and then she passed away. The chatterbox is also there, but they didn’t have young this spring. Klepo and I remain. I will still be there for him. I buried Malena in a special place - said Stjepan Vokić (85), a man who took care of Malena's family for 28 years.

Thanks asteria .... I missed it.
Mr Vokič will not have it easy now ... Malena was everything for him.

But there is also some good news:

Well, today one of the cubs met the same death as its mother.
Game over on a power line.

Terrifying ... I'm so sorry.

Unfortunately not easy to translate. I cannot copy Youtube chats and Facebook posts for translation. I only found a short German comment.
