Abigyl, the Boss is Kaupo

thank you very much for reporting.

It is Kaupo's profile. Maris says the profile is one way to identify them.
Now I have such pictures! These is almost the same as the pic from Maris S.. I have to search for it.

LIZZZ!!! He asked me every day: "Where is my Boss" ??

I knew all the time that it's Kaupo because we know him for so long!!

I hope this little lady will come back with him next year

"balistar, it's not Kaupo...."




So, it IS Kaupo and was it all the time ?

Nice to see him back in the nest and maybe we will see the young girlfriend visiting, too

Thanks for the reporting, pictures and videos

SATURDAY, JUNE 6th

Good Morning!

Nest was empty during the night.

09:03 Kaupo arrived with a very big football in front of him

I thing he talked to himself: "Who needs the little screaming ? they are eating all my food and I'm starving for months"

09:22 Still on the nest digesting while "incubating" the sticks

[Abigyl]

11:11 He flew to the left to have lunch and look for his little lady

.


Who is this handsome male

[Solo]

...

[Abigyl]

Thanks Solo ! So good to see you here in our private nest...

Specialists said it's our dear Kaupo.

Poor man, he found a little too young lady; will she be back next year?

We have now only males. looks like a real problem, (Did you see poor Karl2?).

Let's hope Eedi created another family this season

[Abigyl]

12:54 He left

[Solo]

Abigyl,
I am here every day (and also on the other BS nest - youtube, forums, chats, ...)
I read what think Liz, but I am not sure.
In Estonia they are single males and our Mare (Latvian) is this year single female in Russia, Kalinigrad Oblast I am sorry for all those adult storks.
I hope for Eedi too and very, very much after the bad previous year.
(In "my" Gemenc both storklets perished this season isn't food in the area and they had 40 nesting pairs )

[Abigyl]

21:43 He arrived for the night, singing

He was happy that Solo visited him today

Ed: I just saw what you wrote; very sad to read about Gemnec and others.

[Abigyl]

JUNE 11th

Good Morning!

05:25 He lest the nest from the "bed" on the trunk.

He is always leaving on first light around 4 am. What changed??

06:05 He is back with a nice branch

08:10 He is still there... "incubating" the nest floor

[Liz01]

Solo, I think here are two male and two female
