Black Stork Nest in Karula 2019

[aquiline]

It is no easy job Kati and Karl II are doing. These both and all other birds deserve our highest respect. But is is nice to see how fast the "Smallies" are growing and feathers are changing

thanks to everybody for reporting and great pictures

14:19:25 Karl II leaves

[Anne7]

Between 15:04 and 15:07 there was someone around.
Two storklets were watching attentively for minutes. I think that the third one was sleeping.





Around 15:07:53 the visitor(s) seemed to be gone

[Anne7]

Only 2 feedings, so far? That's not enough.
I wish that Karl II could bring 3 very big fish.
Or Kati a hundred frogs.

17:37 The storklets are waiting.

19:09:52 "Hey guys, wake up, there is Mum!"


19:10:05 Kati starts feeding.

[Anne7]

19:10:32 After Kati's feeding: three dirty but happy storklets with full crops.

[Crissy]

22:12:35 storklets growling

[Anne7]

22:19:32 "Hey, I'd like to be in the middle!"


22:19:56 "Not? OK, then I go to the side."


22:20:38 "This is good too."

22:12:35 storklets growling

Could you see why, Crissy?
I think they scared each other by accident.

Good night.

[Crissy]

Anne - yes, its seems so. One of the storklets stretched its wings and it alarmed the others
